What is scarification? Why is it a vital process for lawn care?
β Thatch Removal - removing thatch allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively, promoting healthier root growth. β Access to Nutrients - by breaking up the thatch layer, scarification helps grass roots absorb essential nutrients more efficiently. β Healthier Grass Growth - promotes the growth of new shoots and stronger grass plants. β Reduces Competition - removing thatch diminishes the habitat for weeds, moss, and other unwanted plants, giving grass a better chance to thrive. β Encourages New Growth - scarification stimulates new grass shoots, leading to a denser and more vibrant lawn. β Stress Reduction - helps reduce stress on the lawn by removing accumulated debris and allowing the grass to breathe. β Improved Resilience - makes the lawn more resilient to environmental stressors like drought, heavy rain, and foot traffic.
