SCARIFICATION & AERATION
Over time, lawns can become compacted and covered in thatch, preventing essential nutrients, water, and air from reaching the roots. Scarification removes built-up moss and thatch, while aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing your grass to grow stronger and healthier.
By combining these treatments, you improve root growth, enhance drainage, and create the perfect conditions for a lush, resilient lawn. No contracts, just expert care when you need it – at better prices than franchises!
If your lawn looks patchy, feels spongy underfoot, or struggles to absorb water, it may be suffering from a buildup of thatch and moss. Signs your lawn needs scarification include:
✔ Excess moss and thatch – A thick layer blocking nutrients and water
✔ Poor drainage – Water pooling on the surface instead of soaking in
✔ Weak or thinning grass – Struggling to grow through compacted thatch
✔ Increased weed growth – Moss and thatch creating space for weeds
Spring is the perfect time for scarification as the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. By removing moss and thatch early in the season, your lawn gets the best chance to grow thicker and stronger throughout the year.
To achieve the best results, we recommend scarifying after our Moss Control Treatment. This ensures the moss is weakened and easier to remove, allowing your grass to thrive.
Does Your Lawn Need Aeration?
If your lawn looks worn out, struggles to absorb water, or feels hard underfoot, it may be suffering from soil compaction. Signs your lawn needs aeration include:
✔ Poor drainage – Water sitting on the surface instead of soaking in
✔ Thin or patchy grass – Struggling to grow in compacted soil
✔ Hard, dry soil – Difficult for roots to spread and absorb nutrients
✔ Moss and thatch buildup – A sign that air and water aren’t reaching the roots
Why We Aerate in Autumn
Autumn is the best time for aeration, as the soil is still warm, and grass is in its recovery phase before winter. Aerating in autumn relieves compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the roots, strengthening your lawn for the year ahead.
Best Done at the Same Time as Our Autumn Recovery Treatment
For the best results, we recommend aerating alongside our Autumn Recovery Treatment. This ensures your lawn gets the nutrients and care it needs to recover, grow stronger, and stay healthier through winter.
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE A DIFFERENCE
Both treatments help improve lawn health, but the results develop over different timelines.
