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
