Why is it essential to have Machine Work? 

Every lawn benefits from Aeration and Scarification. Most lawn lovers realise that seasonal lawn treatments only go so far in creating what we all want to see… a great lawn. 

For many of our customers their annual programme includes Aeration and Scarification every year and their lawn truly benefits from it. 

What is Aeration?
The process of Aeration relieves compaction and creates open spaces in the soil. Deep channels are produced to help water, air, and nutrients penetrate the root zone.
Although there are a few different types of Aeration, hollow-tine and fracture-tine are the best for lawns. We will recommend the one most suited to the condition of your lawn.

What is Scarification?
Surface thatch naturally forms on a lawn. However, when it gets too thick it prevents important elements such as water, fertiliser and oxygen from getting to the grass roots. The result is a mossy and spongy lawn. Scarification removes most of the surface thatch and should be a feature of any good annual lawn maintenance programme.
