Scarify your lawn now

Old grass gradually builds-up on lawns between grass roots and foliage. Regular raking through the summer mowing months can keeps levels at an acceptable level, but a thick layer (1cm or 0.5in) can impede water and fertiliser penetration.

 It is recommended to remove such build-up by raking vigorously but carefully with a spring-tine rake. If you lawn is large, powered tools are available for this job.
