   Should I rake or scarify my grass before raking?

   • Planning ahead is important. You need short dry grass for raking or scarifying so bring the grass height down gradually over a week or two before hand. This doesn’t shock the grass whilst also allowing air deeper into the turf helping dry the grass. If you have any weeds in your lawn then you can manually remove them but don't use any weed killer.

   When should I rake my lawn?

   • The day before attacking the lawn, mow it as close as possible without scalping. Long grass just creates resistance to the scarifier, ultimately creating more rubbish to collect. Dry grass and moss make life a lot easier as well. Plan to rake on a dry day with no dew around. The afternoons are often best.

   What is raking a lawn?

   • This involves raking (or scarifying) the lawn to remove thatch (old grass clippings, moss and other debris) from the soil surface. Removing thatch helps the lawn to cope with drought, as water is better able to get down into the soil. Thatch can also reduce air circulation between the grass plants, which can lead to fungal problems.

   Does raking a lawn scare you?

   • The resulting landscape (not too dissimilar from the dark side of the moon) may well scare you, in fact, it should scare you but, with a little help it will come back better than ever! If there are bumps in the lawn you may cause damage in these areas even though you are only raking or scarifying lightly.

   Can You scarify a lawn with a raker?

   • If you are scarifying with blades you can even allow the machine to penetrate the soil by up to ¼”. This also helps seed to take if you are going to wisely over seed the lawn on completion. If you are using an electric lawn raker or wire tines in your scarifier or mower then keep them off the soil as they cause too much damage and can also break.

   Rake your lawn vigorously with a spring-tined rake, aiming to reduce loose debris without uprooting the grass. Work first in one direction, then the other, so you remove as much thatch as possible. For larger lawns, consider hiring or buying a powered scarifier or scarifying mower attachment – or just rake a small section each autumn.
