How Lawn Scarification Transforms Tired Grass in Just One Treatment

If your lawn feels spongy, dull, or is overtaken by moss, scarification could be the game-changing treatment you need; especially in damp areas of Chichester, Emsworth, or Arundel.

What Is Scarification?

• – It’s the mechanical removal of moss, thatch and dead grass
• – Done using a scarifying machine with metal blades

Benefits of Scarification:

• – Improves air and water penetration
• – Encourages new, healthy growth
• – Reduces moss and thatch build-up
• – Helps fertiliser reach the soil more effectively

When to Scarify:

• – Spring (March–April)
• – Autumn (September–October)

What to Expect After Treatment:

• – Lawn may look rough for 2–3 weeks
• – Overseeding and feeding will speed recovery
• – Results are often dramatic by the next season
