Scarifying
Scarifying removes unwanted surface material such as thatch, dead grass, moss and surface rooted grasses; allowing for healthy root growth and improved drainage.
This is carried out with a high-speed mechanical rake with sharp blades that make vertical cuts into the turf. CKLL operates a range of scarifyers suitable for all sports and recreational surfaces.
Scarifying is usually carried out between autumn and spring when the grass is actively growing to enhance the recovery process and is often the first phase of a surface renovation programme.
