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

Product Information

Scarifying with a springbok rake or hand scarifier is a much gentler approach than a powered machine. That said, it’s much more labour intensive. Depending on how much material you removed on the first pass, you might choose to lower the scarifier by a setting. The deeper thatch or moss will have been made a little looser from the first pass and so it should come out that bit easier. Tip: Raking by hand can cause blistering. Wear gloves with talc for comfort. Step 3 – Change direction Chris advises you mow your lawn a week beforescarifyingit.

It might be the best lawn scarifier from AL-KO. 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.

Hand Scarifiers & Grinders

The texture and appearance of the profile obtained through the surface-preparation process will vary, depending upon the concrete/asphalt strength, composition, aggregate and finish. On sound surfaces, the range of variation can be controlled to represent these standards, however, as removal depth increases, the profile of the prepared substrate will be increasingly dominant by the type and size of the coarse aggregate. These machines typically feature rotating drums or cutters with various types of cutting attachments to effectively scarify or texture concrete.

Corded lawn scarifiers are not as flexible as cordless lawn scarifiers due to the electric cable. Petrol Lawn Scarifiers This scarifier has an adjustment lever that lets you change the cutting height to get rid of thatch or moss from various levels.

However, once assembly was out of the way and I had a good look at the machine, I was instantly impressed. It comes with five height settings, from -12mm to +10mm (most other scarifiers have just three or four), and there’s a single lever to adjust the height. You can adjust the height of the handles too or fold them away to easily store the machine. Being a 2-in-1 model, this product comes with two interchangeable rollers; one for scarification and one for aeration.
