Lawn Scarification

A garden with a well-kept lawn that's been scarified and treated

Fresh and Fabulous Lawn 

Is your lawn looking dead and dull? Have you got an unwanted layer of thatch, moss or other organic material on your garden surface? If your lawn is experiencing these problems you might need lawn scarification. 

Lawn scarification, or de-thatching, removes any organic material such as moss or thatch from the garden surface. The treatment helps to remove any growth that was preventing healthy grass from growing due to suffocating it from nutrients and water, allowing the grass to grow strong and healthy.

      Lawn Scarification FAQs

      What to Do after Lawn Scarification? 

      After scarifying your lawn the process will naturally reduce the amount of grass you have. This is why it’s important to do these four processes to help improve the recovery process of your lawn:

      🌱 overseeding it

      🌱 using a weed killer on any leftover moss or weeds

      🌱 aerating it

      🌱 fertilising it

      Can You Cut Grass after a Lawn Scarification?

      In short yes you can cut your lawn straight after scarification. Mowing your lawn actually allows you to remove any excess tufts of grass so you can properly see the state of your lawn. 

      How Long Does It Take for Grass to Heal after Scarification?

      As long as you properly maintain and apply appropriate aftercare to your lawn, the recovery process for scarification can be anywhere between 4-6 weeks.
