Scarifying
Over time, a layer of dead grass, moss and organic debris, known as felt , can build up in your lawn, making it difficult for air, water and nutrients to reach the roots. To prevent this, it is worth scarifying .
What does this procedure involve?
- Scarifying is the vertical cutting of the turf layer with a special device – a scarifier – which allows you to remove accumulated dirt and stimulates the grass to grow .
- The best time for this treatment is spring (April-May) or autumn (September) , when the lawn regenerates intensively.
- After scarifying, it is a good idea to fertilize the lawn and water it thoroughly to speed up the reconstruction of the turf.
Why is it worth it?
- Better soil ventilation and access to nutrients.
- Reducing moss and limiting the development of diseases.
- Stimulation of the root system and thickening of the lawn.
