Scarifying A MOSSY Lawn In FEBRUARY

This huge lawn scarification completely overwhelmed me. I surveyed this 12 months ago and at the time it was Summer, and slightly less thatch in the lawn.
When I visited this to scarify, the moss had arrived with a vengeance. I ploughed on expecting it to take a day (at most).
The customer had already said she was going to help me - and thank goodness she did. At the end of the first day we managed to get around 50% of the lawn done.
The thatch levels were CONSIDERABLE, plus the thatch was damp, making it heavier.
Overall on day 1 (this video), we filled 16 tonne bags and 15 black bags (2 runs to a recycling farm).
Enjoy the video. As usual, any questions or comments please pop them in the section below.
A special thank you to the home owner for being so grateful to spend the day with me. She obviously knew what a big job it was going to be... She later told me that when it was last done by her, it took her 2 weeks!

Brilliant video and well explained for a novice like me. Best thing I done last year was scarify my lawn’s as I started feeding but with poor results obviously with the amount of thatch. I filled 8 tonne bags and looked terrible but few weeks later was looking great 👍🏻 thanks for posting videos.

Love the videos and the humility with which you create them. Curious, I’ve not seen you use a heavy drag mat after overseeding to push the seed closer to the dirt layer. Do you think they are not of value? I have one, and I can say when it’s really wet it doesn’t do a lot outside collect the seeds :)

Oops… reverse remembered scale after months of no use bites user again. Well done for owning up on video. 😁 Gonna nip the top off the “inherited” lawns tomorrow. Grass is dry enough to test the new mower but soil is quite wet for scarifying, it is a spongy and mossy clay-based mass which has not been done for 15years or so. I have a new 2 in 1 to give it hell, so really need to let it dry some more if I want any green left at all.

Great stuff Shaun. My lawn is kept at roughly 3". When time comes to overseed how low would you cut it? I'm worried it might out compete the new seed if I don't take it down far enough. Thanks
@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 жыл бұрын
I'd be looking to cut it as low as you can as you'll be looking at 2 to 4 weeks after seeding before you can think about mowing again. Thanks Michael 😊

Hi great channel. We have a lawn that is almost completely moss. The grass hardly grows, and the ground feels very hard. Parts of it also has fungus from the moss. It’s a very large area - our garden is half an acre. What can we do to stop further deterioration.
@LawnRight
@LawnRight Жыл бұрын
Hi Jane.. scarify and aerate to begin. But with the amount of moss be prepared for a lot of seeding. If you join our private facebook community you can share pics for better advice facebook.com/groups/lawnrightcommunity/?ref=share_group_link

@LawnRight
@LawnRight 2 жыл бұрын
If you're on top of the work and it's done regular then the spring should be enough.. it's less aggressive.. for solid blades will be more aggressive and pull more out but theres chance of ripping our grass too and possibly end up needing seeding... however if your steady and careful you can use either and just tease thatch out bit by bit
