When to Rake or Scarify

Rake and Scarify the Lawn Raking or scarifying your grass, regardless of whether it be for thatch or for
removal of moss, is in the long haul a very useful strategy yet in the momentary it can ruin it. In spite of
the fact that it will recoup and be better than anyone might have expected, arriving in the shortest
period of time is our definitive target.

So often I see individuals completing an altogether great job with their scarifying yet at the off-base
season or in the off-base conditions. This implies the grass is a blemish for quite a long time if not
months a short time later. You may likewise make harm your generally sound grass plants in this manner
declining the issue.

Time your program as indicated by the capacity of the garden to recoup. This implies warmth, sun, and
downpour while staying away from cold, warmth or dry spell. At the end of the day, you need great
developing conditions and in the event that your grass isn't developing admirably before scarifying, at
that point it won't develop well subsequently leaving you with a much-distorted yard!

Spring: Raking and Light Scarifying

Light de-thatching or scarifying and greenery evacuation should be possible in spring or potentially pre-
winter. Spring, for the most part, implies at some point in April similarly as things warm up in this way
expanding the development and recuperation rate yet before the warmth and dryness of summer back
things off. Pre-winter would, for the most part, be late August or September as rainfall begin yet before
the cold sets in.

Harvest time: Heavy Scarifying

For substantial thatch or moss pervasions requiring further scarifying or raking then attempt to wait till
the autumn season. Why?
Overwhelming raking or scarifying is going to genuinely thin the yard leaving soil uncovered in numerous
spots. This makes a perfect seedbed not just for overseeding with better than ever grass seed yet
additionally for all the weed and weed grass seeds setting aside. By keeping this concentrated treatment
to August or September you will maintain a strategic distance from the greater part of the years weed
seeds. In the event that you do this in spring, you'll simply replace the moss and thatch problem with
weed issue! Having said that, there are a couple of exceptions when spring is the best time:

It is smarter to round or scarify up spring on the off chance that you were not able to do it the past
harvest time maybe because of terrible climate as opposed to putting it off. Continue putting it off from
fall to autumn could mean you'll have a more concerning issue than a couple of weeds!

On the off chance that the territory to be satisfied is unchecked. Obscure regions will thin over winter
and thicken up from spring onwards. In this way, on the off chance that you scarify in autumn, you'll
simply compound the situation.

Consider that the territory is under trees. The shade from trees in addition to the harvest time fall of
leaves will decrease grass wellbeing and life however in spring – late March through April - the trees are
uncovered enabling greatest light to your yard empowering great development and most extreme open
door for new grass seed to get developing
