The perfect solution for moss removal

    SCARIFYING

    Scarifying is the process by which the `undergrowth` or thatch is removed for a lawn it can be a harsh process and initially will make your lawn look worse but ultimately will make it much healthier.  Thatch is mostly dead plant matter and actually prohibits healthy lawn growth by preventing nutrients and water reaching new grass shoots. A healthy lawn will have some thatch but not too much. The scarification process will also remove moss build up – though only temporary unless it has been chemically treated.  We can scarify your lawn in spring or early autumn after your spring/ autumn lawn treatment that would have included a moss treatment. We do not recommend scarifying a lawn without this treatment as it helps the lawn recover after the scarification process and also if moss is scarified without a moss treatment it will only spread the moss spores around and make the problem worse. All waste from scarifying will be bagged up neatly for your disposal.
