PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you scarify your lawn?
Scarify and feed your lawn once a year, preferably in spring.
A layer of thatch and moss smothers the grass and hinders the uptake of water and nutrients. DCM recommends scarifying only once a year, because it’s a drastic treatment for your lawn; autumn works too.
- Mow the lawn short before scarifying
- Scarify in two directions to loosen moss and thatch
- Clear away the loosened material
- Feed according to the recommended dose on the packaging
