Scarifier

A scarifier, also known as a lawn dethatcher or lawn rake, is a tool used to remove thatch and moss from lawns, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively. It features a series of blades or tines that cut into the soil surface, pulling up thatch and debris as the scarifier is pushed or driven across the lawn. Scarifiers are essential for maintaining healthy lawns, as they prevent thatch buildup, which can lead to poor grass growth and increased susceptibility to disease. They are available in manual, electric, and gas-powered models, each suited to different lawn sizes and conditions. Regular scarification promotes a lush, green lawn by encouraging new growth and improving soil health.
