lawn scarification recovery

If you've never seen a scarified lawn before, you might find this photo a little bit concerning. The lawn looks dead, dry, and pretty barren. For people who take pride in their lawns, this is exactly the kind of look you want to avoid. However, this lawn is actually on its way to becoming greener and healthier than it was before!

 

Lawn Scarification: What Is It?

There are a whole host of lawn care treatments that can be confusing if you've never come across them before. Scarification is a process that gardeners use to remove dead moss and thatch from the surface of the lawn. A build-up of moss and thatch can have some really negative effects on your lawn. For example:

  • It can prevent water and nutrients from penetrating the soil
  • It can suffocate new grass shoots that are trying to emerge from the soil
  • It can encourage the development of lawn diseases including mould, pests & more.

It's true that your scarified lawn might look terrible for a period, but once it's recovered you'll be grateful that you got it done.
