Here at Lawn & Weed Expert we often get asked “when is the best time of year to scarify my lawn?”, and we’re here to answer that question once and for all!
Autumn is by far the best time of year to scarify your lawn.
Why scarify your lawn in autumn?
Winter is a very harsh time for lawns, with the unfavourable weather conditions giving them quite a beating! By scarifying your lawn in the autumn, you put your lawn in the best position possible to be prepared for winter weather and make it through to spring intact.
By scarifying your lawn in autumn, you also give your lawn time to settle and reap the benefits of scarification before winter rolls around and your lawn goes dormant.
Here at Lawn & Weed Expert we have over 20 years of experience providing our professional lawn care services, including scarification. If you’d like to read more about our scarification services and how they can benefit you this autumn, head on over to our website to read more.
Scarification
For best results, we’d recommend pairing your autumn scarification with overseeding and aeration directly after. Lawn care in autumn is important – winter is a tough time for lawns, but taking the time to properly prepare your lawn in the autumn is the best way to set your lawn up for success.
