Spring Lawn Care: Hiring a Scarifier and Aerator

If your lawn looks tired after winter, spring is the time to bring it back to life. A scarifier and aerator pairing does in an afternoon what a rake never quite manages.

Scarify, then aerate

• Scarifying pulls out the layer of moss and dead thatch that stops water and air reaching the roots.
• Aerating then relieves compaction, letting the lawn breathe and drain.

Timing matters

Aim for a mild, slightly damp spell in spring or early autumn. Mow first, scarify in two directions, then aerate and overseed any thin patches.

We hire petrol and electric scarifiers and aerators in our cultivation range, ideal for domestic lawns. Get a quote — delivered across Norfolk and Suffolk, or collect from our Wymondham depot.
