A scarifier will remove thatch and moss from lawns, remember toalways scarify in two directions. Mechanical scarifiers are the best choice for this purpose, and these may be hired.
Soil compaction is one of the main problems that affects lawns. Lawn Aerators relieve soil compaction and allow fertilizers, air and water to penetrate deep into the soil to promote a strong root system and healthy growth
Lawn Aerators come in two main forms. Spike Lawn Aerators and Core Lawn Aertators. Spike aerators drive holes into the lawn a regular intervals tha allows water and fertilizer to penertrate. Core aerators actually remove a small plug of soil from the lawn. It is best to aerate your lawn before re seeding or topdressing. Once a year is usually adequate for most lawns, although clay soils will benefit from a twice yearly aeration. For most lawns aeration is best carried out in late winter to early spring. Seed and fertilizer can be applied at 35grams per square metre (seed at 25grams) remember to topdress after fertilizing and using the back of a rake the top dressing/seed/fertilizer mix into he Aerated lawn. |
