Every lawn more than twelve months old should have both Scarification and Aeration at least
once per year. The LawnHopper® winter work is a key part of our
lawn care programme, carried out between the months of October
to March. Regular scarification and aeration both go towards
making your lawn strong, healthy and beautiful. Prices for each
Winter Work treatment will have been discussed with you on
commencement of your lawn care programme.
LawnHopper® recommends carrying out each of the following once per year:
Machine Scarification
Annual machine scarification aids in the control of
moss and removes thatch. Thatch is a fibrous layer
caused by grass clippings and other organic matter. If
left it deprives your lawn of much needed water and
oxygen and encourages disease.
Once the machine scarification is completed, all
clippings and debris is hand raked, bagged up and
taken away at no extra cost.
Core Aeration
Annual core aeration relieves compaction that has built
up over the year. It also allows air to circulate and
water to reach the roots of the grass. Aeration helps
the LawnHopper® spring and summer fertilizers
penetrate beneath the surface level. Machine aeration
brings cores to the surface of the lawn, we leave these
cores to break down as they act as a 'top dressing'.
