Woodside Manual 35cm Lawn/Grass Scarifier Aerator Rake with Non-slip Handle

Product Information

The Cobra cordless scarifier worked very well at removing the weeds and thatch – no question on that

Pay attention to your surroundings when using a scarifier as debris can get thrown around (you might want to warn your partner, kids and pets in advance)! To make your scarifying efforts as effective as possible, it’s important to first prepare your lawn. This includes mowing your lawn and killing moss. The hands-on approach – Popamazing’s Heavy Duty Rolling Scarifier/Aerator is the DIY enthusiast’s dream. For some, the greatest satisfaction comes from starting from scratch and doing it all by hand from beginning to end. Enter the roller by Popamazing, which does need putting together, but is therefore easily deconstructed if replacement parts are needed. As a garden tool, it’s very effective, being light enough for easy movement while the business end is weighty enough to ensure that the spikes press down sufficiently. Lawn Scarifier Buying Guide

Concrete Profiles 

The cutting width affects the performance of a scarifier. Lawn scarifiers with a wide cutting width are quite effective in clearing moss and thatch in a short period of time. Cutting Depth If your lawn is on a slope, work horizontally instead of climbing up and down (just like using a lawnmower). There are several different types of lawn scarifiers including hand-powered scarifiers, electric scarifiers, and petrol scarifiers.

The technique when scarifying is actually very similar to the technique used for a leaf rake. You go over the lawn in one direction, before going over it a second time at a different angle. You then need to collect up all the thatch that has been pulled out afterwards and ideally seed more grass.Since this lawn scarifier was designed to help you get rid of moss and thatch from your lawn, it comes with a lawn rake attachment. The lawn rake attachment has 24 spring tines, which effectively remove thatch and moss from a lawn. Assembly Ease: The first test I conducted was how easy each scarifier was to assemble. Scarifiers that took me 30 minutes or more to assemble were marked down, as these would likely take the average gardener a long time to put together. Models with minimal assembly requirements that took 15 minutes or less to assemble and had detailed instructions were rated high in terms of assembly ease. Scarifiers and tillers are the ideal tools for anyone who’s looking to create a healthy lawn. We sell scarifiers and tillers from many of the world’s leading brands including Bosch, Mac Allister, VonHaus, and Hyundai. If you’re using a powered machine, start off by setting it to its highest setting and scarify in exactly the same way as you’d mow the grass. Go up and down until you have scarified the whole area.

Powered scarifiers. Available as either corded, where you’ll need a power supply, or cordless, these have knife blades attached to their cylinders rather than tines, making them effective at removing moss and thatch. Used on the lowest setting, they create slits in the turf, which helps aerate it. If your garden is on the small side, or if you’re only seeking a lawn scarifier (without the aerator) then it may not be worth splurging on Hyundai’s 2-in-1 Lawn Scarifier. However, I consider this the best lawn scarifier and aerator machine overall. It’s definitely a good option for medium or large gardens. Guy Jenkins, consumer manager at Johnsons Lawn Seed, says the best way to scarify a lawn is to scarify small sections at a time. By doing this, you'll be able to see which areas have been completed and which still need to be done. The four working height settings are -15mm, -11mm, -7mm, and +1mm, and can be adjusted by lever with only one hand. The BMC scarifier/aerator also has a large working width if 32cm.
Accidental starts are very unlikely with this model thanks to a two stage safety operation switch. If you are looking for a manual lawn scarifier that will help you get rid of moss and thatch from your lawn, the Darlac DP888 might be a suitable choice for you.

Hand Scarifiers & Grinders

If you’re raking in the spring two passes should be enough. However, if you’re removing a lot of thatch or moss in the autumn, you might want to lower the setting and go over the lawn three, even four times. The Last Pass Since electric cords restrict your movements while you are scarifying your lawn, the Ryobi RY18SFX35A-0 comes with battery slots, which improve its flexibility.
