Checklist Scarifier

Benefit
  • Scarifiers remove moss, weeds and felt. These deprive the soil of important nutrients and water. The lawn hardly gets any supply through the soil. Also, sunlight and oxygen hardly penetrate through the moss layer. Therefore you should scarify your lawn 1-2 times a year.
  • The cut-off remains are usually collected in a collection container.
  • There are: Hand, electric, gasoline, and battery dethatchers.
  • The sharpness of the blades is essential in order not to damage the lawn.
  • Also, the depth settings should be adapted to the lawn: Usually 3-4mm is used, but many devices can also be set higher and lower (e.g. 2mm at the beginning of scarifying).
Drive
  • Scarifiers are available with different drives.
  • Hand-held scarifiers are operated without a motor and impress with their light weight.
  • In the case of motor-driven scarifiers, you should pay attention to the manufacturer’s specifications regarding the wattage of the motor before making a purchase.
  • Gasoline scarifiers require gasoline.
Working Width
  • Scarifiers have different working widths.
  • A large working width means that scarifying large lawns is faster.
  • A small working width is ideal especially for small lawns.

  • Electric scarifier: for gardens 100-500sqm. also a sustainable variant. lighter and more maneuverable than the lower variants. However, depending on soil conditions, there may be difficulties in penetration of the blades, as the weight does not provide enough pressure.
  • Battery-powered trimmer: up to 500sqm. Battery-powered, so cordless.
  • Gasoline scarifier: 500-2000sqm. can tolerate harder soils, cordless. Its weight allows the blades to penetrate deep into the lawn.
