Rent a scarifier for a thick, green lawn
Moss and thatch rob the grass of light, water and nutrients. A scarifier scores the turf and combs out the thatch, after which the lawn grows back thicker and stronger. As you only need the machine once or twice a year, renting is better than buying. On Mietrix you will find scarifiers from lessors in Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate. It is also known as a lawn scarifier, dethatcher or lawn aerator.
The right time
Spring is ideal, as soon as the ground has dried and the lawn is growing – usually in April or May. A second pass in September is possible. Do not scarify in wet conditions, frost or great heat.
How to use the scarifier
- Mow the lawn short beforehand, to about three to four centimetres.
- Set the blades so that they score two to three millimetres into the soil.
- Go over the area lengthways first and then crossways.
- Rake off the thatch and put it on the compost.
- Reseed bare patches and fertilise the lawn. A garden roller presses the seed in.
Petrol or electric?
Electric scarifiers are light and quiet and suit small to medium-sized gardens. For large areas and heavily matted lawns, petrol models with a wide working width are the better choice. For aftercare, you will find lawnmowers and ride-on mowers.
Frequently asked questions about renting a scarifier
Will the lawn look bad afterwards?
Immediately after scarifying, the lawn looks plucked. After two to four weeks it is usually thicker than before.
Will a scarifier fit in my car?
Most machines fit in an estate car with the handle folded down.
