This is one of the simplest and least demanding lawn care techniques of them all. It is a completely different process from scarifying, but it also plays a significant part towards improving the health of your lawn.

But let’s get a few facts straight before we begin – There’s no difference between today’s range of scarifiers and lawn rakers. It’s just that when people refer to rakes, they mean those simple, long, light leaf rakes operated manually.

It has a full 32cm cutting width and 4 raking heights ranging from +10mm to -5mm, therefore it is ideal for regular use throughout the lawn growing and maintenance season. Turn on your verticutter and move it across the surface of your lawn as you would a lawnmower. Verticutters will typically propel themselves forwards as they are in operation, meaning your main role is to steer the machine. Keeping your lawn healthy in the first place is the best way of preventing dead grass. However, it’s easy to forget that lawns require maintenance (they aren’t evergreen!) and just treating grass with lawn fertilisers is not enough.If you cannot do a heavy scarifying in autumn, (perhaps it’s too wet) and your lawn is particularly mossy, you can do a heavy scarifying in spring around early April. Ideally, you want to do a light scarifying in spring around April just to remove any moss that had built up over winter. Preparing the lawn Verticutting your lawn is incredibly important and beneficial to its overall health. As we have already established, it removes the layer of thatch from the lawn.

Our Pledge However, modern lawn rakers are mower-like machines complete with dozens of accessories and functionalities. People in the UK refer to these lawn rakers as scarifiers because, well, we invented the language and will play with it as we see fit. The Weibang WB384RB Push Petrol Lawn Scarifier is powered by a 163cc Briggs & Stratton 750 engine which makes it well worth considering for professional use.It has 5 working depths, a slightly smaller working width at 38cm but the collector is bigger at 55 litres. Again though, if it’s your first time scarifying, or you don’t do it that often, I don’t care how big the collector is, it won’t be big enough. If you have any bare batches this is also a good time to reseed these bare patches but this is best done in autumn as there will be fewer weeds to germinate in the bare soil. The fact that it’s smaller also means it’s nearly half the weight of the Cobra so if weight is a concern, this is the model to choose. The raking roller removes moss, thatch and leaves from the lawn, but without penetrating the soil. This does a much lighter job when compared to the scarifier roller. This is ideal as you can use it throughout the season to keep your lawn nice and healthy for another summer. This increases the access of your lawn’s roots to water, nutrients, and oxygen. In turn, this can promote the healthy growth and overall aesthetics of your lawn.

The Bosch AVR 1100 Verticutter Lawnraker provides the dual functions of scarifying and aeration in one electric model, without having to change cassettes or rakes, plus is a big plus as changing cassettes can be awkward on most models. And if you do use it, the added weight at the rear can cause the machine to ‘wheelie’ on the very small rear wheels. I found it was just better to never use the collector and rake up the debris by hand. When I removed it completely, the machine was a joy to use. Bosch was created in 1886 in Stuttgart, Germany by Robert Bosch who formed the business to specialise in the manufacture of electronic components. The 'Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' as he originally called it, has since become one of the biggest and best-known manufacturers of both domestic and industrial products in the world. Bosch have always had a willingness to improve on their already established designs, right from day one. It's this ethos, which has allowed Robert Bosch GmbH and Bosch Garden Tools to maintain the enviable place in the market they hold today.The Darlac Lawn Scarifier is another manual scarifier. Unlike our previously reviewed manual model, the Wolf Garten Roller Moss Remover, it does not have the pendulum action so it can be used by both pushing it forwards and pulling it towards yourself. This makes for slightly harder work, but it does effectively remove moss, thatch and any leaves embedded into the lawn. First off, everything I mention now has not affected the use of the machine in any way, and it’s an amazing machine. Let’s first get that out there, I do love this verticutter. However, there are a few niggles I want to mention. The collection box doesn’t fit snug
