Scarification

01/01/1970

Scarification is a process best decribed as mechanical raking of the lawn to remove or reduce the thatch. Removing the thatch can help stop moss from developing in the lawn during the winter months. We carry out this process during autumn and early spring. With added rainfall during these months recovery of the lawn is much quicker.  Greensleeves use machinery that has a series of sharp tungsten blades which rotate at high speed and cut into the lawn in a vertical manner. This machine and process should not be confused with the typical machine available on the DIY market, which is more of a lawn rake.
