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

Product Information

A rake will remove thatch and moss from your lawn's surface and is an easy way to clean up your lawn. You should only scarify when the ground is dry, so if there are a lot of April showers, it’s better to wait until May for a dry day when any surface water has had a chance to drain away or evaporate. The Landzie 24 inch Compost Spreader and the Landzie 36 inch Lawn Level are now available for weekend hire. By September, there are far less of this seed around, but in early autumn there is still enough warmth in the earth so it will still be easy to work with.

When you purchase a WEIBANG Intrepid 384RB petrol powered scarifier, the machine will come with a 1 year commercial warranty. On the other hand, it does comes with a telescopic handle so it can be set to a height to suit the user, which is a good feature. However, on large lawns you may not want to stop and do this and may choose to let the raked bits remain on the lawn and manually rake them up afterwards. Let’s move on to how you use this scarifier and its features, firstly it has a working width of 32cm which means you maximise the area you scarify with each run. If your lawn is much over 300m 2 and needs scarifying then the only way of making the work less arduous is to use a petrol scarifier.You can easily adjust the working height by adjusting the twin levers (one of each front wheel) as shown below.

If you have a larger lawn or need a petrol scarifier and the freedom it gives you, then I recommend my next petrol pick below. This is because if the soil is wet your tools won't function properly, it can cause clumping and accidentally tear out grass or create holes - meaning your lawn recovers more slowly. When scarifying, the steel blades of the scarifier roller tear moss, tangles and dead grass out of the lawn. While these still require a fair bit of manual work you should be able to achieve more with in a shorter time when compared to a normal rake. This powerful petrol model is equipped with 22 sharp carbon steel blades that are double-tipped for effective scarifying.

The steel blades of the scarifier penetrate the grass and thoroughly remove thatch as well as moss and plant residues. If you already have a scarifier and are looking for information on how to use it, we have an article that explains just that. So, on a really mossy lawn like I have, I like to set the scarifier on the lowest setting or maybe slightly higher on setting 3.
