08. Notes on scarifying
Regular scarifying renders
the lawn less sensitive to
dryness, heat and cold.
Aerating the lawn annually
makes it less prone to
diseases, the ground is also
firmed up and bare patches
(caused by ball games or
parties) are repaired. – A
green lawn with even growth
is created.
Time:
The best time for the annual
scarifying procedure is the
early spring.
If a lawn is scarified more
often than once a year using
a lawn scarifier, this operation
should not be performed
during midsummer or the
middle of autumn.
After scarifying, the lawn
needs to regenerate for a few
weeks. Consequently, the
ideal time for scarifying is the
period of growth in the spring.
NOTE
Heavily matted lawns should
be scarified twice a year: first
in the spring and again in the
autumn.
Lawn preparation:
Before scarifying, mow the
grass to a height of approx.
2 to 3 centimetres.
The shorter the lawn is cut, the
better the results of scarifying.
The lawn must not be freshly
seeded, wet or excessively
dry.
Tips for optimum results:
- The soil should only be
scored slightly, in order to
prevent damage to the
grass roots.
(See section “Adjusting the
working depth”)
- Guide the lawn scarifier in
straight parallel strips.
- Maintain an even working
speed.
- Always bring the appliance
into the transport position
before turning.
- Avoid staying stationary in
one place for any duration.

Levels 5 and 6 should not
be selected with new blades
as this could damage the
grass roots during
scarifying.
The working depth is
dependent on blade wear
and the ground conditions.
The lawn scarifier is pressed
against the surface of the
lawn through the rotation of
the blades and through the
weight of the appliance: On
soft lawns, the lawn scarifier
cuts deeper into the ground
than on a compacted
surface.
NOTE
Always begin the scarifying
procedure at the highest
working depth (level 1). If the
scarifying result is insufficient,
increase the working depth in
steps.
Blade wear can be
compensated by selecting a
deeper working depth.
