Lawn Scarification

Lawn scarification is the process of removing thatch, moss, and other debris from the lawn's surface to improve air circulation, water penetration, and nutrient absorption. This maintenance practice involves using a scarifier or dethatcher to rake through the lawn, pulling up thatch and dead organic matter. Scarification helps to rejuvenate the lawn by allowing the grass to grow more freely and by reducing the buildup of materials that can lead to poor drainage and disease. It is typically done in the spring or fall when the grass is actively growing, and it is an essential task for maintaining a healthy, resilient lawn that is free from excessive thatch and moss.
