Scarifying Lawns: Healthier Grass in Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds & Beyond

The Importance of Scarifying Your Lawn in Suffolk

At Harewood Lawn Care, based in Ousden CB8, we provide professional lawn care services across Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Mildenhall, and the surrounding Suffolk villages. One of the most effective treatments for achieving a healthy, vibrant lawn is scarifying.

What is Lawn Scarifying?

Scarifying is the process of removing thatch, moss, and organic debris from the surface of your lawn. Over time, layers of dead grass and moss can build up, preventing air, water, and nutrients from reaching the soil. By scarifying, we help your lawn breathe and grow stronger.

Benefits of Scarifying

• Healthier Grass Growth – Encourages stronger roots and greener lawns.

• Reduces Moss and Weeds – Scarifying clears unwanted moss, giving grass room to thrive.

• Improves Drainage – Helps rainwater reach the soil, reducing waterlogging.

• Enhances Appearance – Leads to a neat, striped finish when combined with regular lawn mowing.

When is the Best Time to Scarify in Suffolk?

The ideal time for scarifying is during spring and autumn when your lawn is actively growing. At Harewood Lawn Care, we often recommend scarifying after mowing and before applying seasonal treatments.
