Scarification
Lawn Scarification
For a lawn care program to be effective it is vital that the thatch layer that builds up on your lawn is removed to enable moisture, nutrients and fertilises to reach the root zone and enable your lawn to thrive. We remove this layer of thatch by using a mechanical process called scarification.
Scarifying Lawns
On a well maintained lawn scarification needs to be carried out annually . For our existing customers Stripes Lawn Care carry out scarification during the autumn period September through to October while the grass is still growing, this ensures that your lawn will recover by the time winter arrives.
For new customers starting a treatment program we will also carry out scarification during the spring, again this ensures a speedy recovery for the lawn as the process is carried out early in the growing season.
Following scarification we will bag up the thatch that is removed from your lawn and leave it for you to dispose of or compost. Alternatively the waste can be removed and taken to a Green Waste Recycling Plant where it is turned into 100 % Recycled Compost, however dependent on quantity and distance involved there may be an additional cost.
Please be aware there are lawn care companies that scarify during the winter months outside the growing season, lawns scarified at this time will remain unsightly and will not recover until the spring. Grass Specialist Stripes Lawn Care will only Scarify lawns during the growing season.
