When and why to scarify?
- Scarifying undoubtedly improves the quality of your lawn in several ways by:
- Retarding the growth of weeds such as dandelions and plantains
- Assisting in removing clover, pearlwort, yarrow and similar weeds
- Removing organic layers of thatch and dead grass fibre
- Breaking up the top surface layer of harder soils
Removing weeds and thatch in this way allows water, air and nutrients to reach grass roots more easily. This, in turn, will result in optimum growing conditions and transform your lawn into a lush green sward with few, if any weeds. For best results, you should commence scarifying in late spring. Continue with regular, light treatments throughout the growing season, from late March to mid October. A scarifier allows you to achieve a high quality lawn, without the use of chemical treatments.
Why the LS42?
The CAMON LS42 Lawn Scarifier offers truly great performance results. We believe that there is no other comparable scarifier available that is able to remove the same quantity of moss or thatch from lawns as the LS42.
The LS42 Lawn Scarifier features independently sprung free-swinging blades with a staggered layout for maximum efficiency and a “waisted” design so they keep their edge for longer and continue to provide fantastic performance. In addition the blade assembly can be removed and reversed very easily to double the life of the blades.
These are just some of the reasons why the CAMON LS42 Lawn Scarifier has become the preferred choice for lawn care specialists, hire shops, landscapers and home owners across the UK.
Why is the LS42 so dependable?
Key to the success of the LS42 Lawn Scarifier is its reliable centrifugal clutch which, through a permanently tensioned belt, provides drive to the blades. The permanent tensioning of the belt ensures that the belt life is considerably prolonged whilst the centrifugal clutch ensures that the Scarifier will not operate when the engine is idling. Also the floating front axle of the LS42 Lawn Scarifier allows it to follow the contours of the lawn, and a lockable fine height adjustment alters the working height of the blades.
When should I use a Scarifier?
We recommend using a scarifier in the Autumn and Spring months when the ground is not too soft and when the weather will not be too dry. This prevents grass being damaged and allows it to recover as quickly as possible.
