Professional Lawn Scarification Service in London

How our lawn scarification service in London is performed?

On the scheduled day, a team of two professional gardeners will arrive equipped with professional lawn scarifying machines suitable for the size of your lawn.

They’ll decide which lawn scarification method to follow - heavy or light.

The heavy lawn scarification method can be performed in Autumn since the light one is recommended in Spring.

If the gardeners are about to go with the first method, they’ll scarify your lawn several times at right angles to ensure that all the thatch and moss are out. In Spring, gardeners will scarify with a single pass, because the recovery of your lawn will take longer.

Since scarification generates a lot of green waste, the gardeners will clear up your lawn and even take care of its disposal upon request.

Note that it is recommended that your lawn is freshly mowed before the scarification service, so we can get more thatch out of the lawn. With us, you can get your lawn mowed and scarified on the same day.

What time of the year should I book a lawn scarification service?

If your lawn suffers from moss and thatch, then it needs good scarification to give the grass space to grow. But since scarification is an invasive process for the lawn, we scarify only when the grass is actively growing and when the weather is favourable.

Sometimes light scarification in summer days (during good growing conditions) can be very beneficial for your lawn, but undoubtedly Springtime is the best time to get your grass lightly scarified. Autumn lawn scarification is also recommended, as in this season the grass recovers quickly. Autumn scarification is usually heavy with a few passes through the lawn, in different directions.

Bear in mind that your lawn can look a bit patchy after the scarification service and we give our customers 8-12 week's recovery time. Just water your lawn regularly and after some time passes it will be healthier and lusher than ever.

To get even better results, we also recommend that you overseed and top-dress your lawn after the scarification.
