Product Information

But why do some gardens look like a dried-out desert and the lawn of the neighbour's garden glows with the most beautiful green?

The 40V 5Ah battery charges quickly, in just 90 minutes and offers 40 minutes of use and it's easy to use, with a comfortable, soft handle, and we love being able to see the charge indicator through the transparent window. Early April is generally the best month for scarifying in the spring, as it has optimal conditions for grass seed growth. When choosing a lawn scarifier, it’s important to consider factors such as the size of your lawn, the state of the grass and the amount of soil compaction. The scarifying drum is 32cm wide with steel blades and, depending on how much moss and thatch you’re dealing with, there are four depth settings to choose from: -15mm, -11mm, -7mm and +1mm.

Lawn scarification in the autumn will help you remove any excess thatch and grass that has built up earlier in the year, and prepare the lawn for the winter. It comes with two interchangeable drums, one each for scarification and aeration, a dual start safety system and can be adjusted to four depths, ranging from -6mm to +4mm, which is shallower than other models we tested. AL-KO Gardentech UK Ltd works with partners who also process the data retrieved from your device (tracking data) for their own purposes (e. The Vonhaus 2-in-1 scarifier is a sturdy machine with a robust but lightweight plastic body, which weighs 16. If you’re maintaining a large lawn and are running a garden tractor, a fast-working towed scarifier – or ‘dethatcher’ – is recommended.

and is made from high-quality steel treated with anti-corrosion protection, so it’s lightweight but durable, and feels sturdy to use.When you push it forwards it uses a pendulum action to lift the teeth or tines off the lawn, and when you pull it towards you the pendulum action lowers the tines into the lawn and removes the moss and thatch from the lawn.

Designed with industrial-strength features and to handle daily heavy use, the Weibang WB384RB Push Petrol Lawn Scarifier is perfect for commercial environments and heavier domestic use. When scarifying, any grass which does not have sufficiently developed root structures will be removed, so lawns younger than three years old are not suitable for scarifying.

If left on the surface of your lawn, thatch won’t decompose well and might even harbour insects and mould. It is recommended that the surface of the lawn Is dry but there is moisture in the ground when you scarify the lawn. A manual scarifier doesn’t use petrol or electricity but rollers activate the cutters when pushed along the ground. Best for small lawns, or if you just have a few patches of moss to tackle, they’re also handy if you don’t have lots of storage space. Now slide the choke lever halfway to the right and pull the cord again and it will start straight up, let it run for a minute and then turn the choke off and it’s ready to use.

Unlike our previously reviewed manual model, the Wolf Garten Roller Moss Remover, it does not have the pendulum action so it can be used by both pushing it forwards and pulling it towards yourself. Overall, I found this model over the last 12 months to be a very impressive machine that is capable of removing large amounts of moss and thatch with ease.It lifts dead organic matter, grass cutting and moss but for large areas it’s impractical and if you’re too aggressive with a rake, you’ll damage the lawn. I love this model and have used it on my own lawn, my dad’s two very large lawns and my brother’s which is also a very large lawn.
