To increase the value of a property, it is necessary to ensure that the house remains in good condition. But also, to bring freshness to the outdoor courtyard. For this, many devices and accessories have been designed to ensure the proper maintenance of the garden. Today we are going to present one of them in detail, in this case the scarifier.
A scarifier is a device used to take care of the lawn. It is often confused with a mower, yet the modes of use are different. The mower takes care of cutting the lawn and the scarifier always comes after.
It is equipped with metal knives or several claws. The scarifier is a device that cleans the ground after mowing.
Indeed, moss and dead roots block the supply of minerals and water to the lawn. This plant waste also prevents air from entering the soil.
After some time, the lawn then finds itself in a lamentable state. It is to avoid this that a scarifier is used.
The device will then scratch the ground to aerate it and scrape the plant layers that lie around. They will then be ejected into a collection bin.
Preferably, scarification is done in the spring. Since the humidity is low, it is easier to clean the floor. This promotes the regrowth of the grass to make it denser.
After carrying out the scarification, you will get a good quality lawn for the summer.
In the context of garden maintenance, there are 3 types of scarifiers. These are the manual scarifier, the electric scarifier and the thermal scarifier. It is by determining the surface of the ground that you can see the most suitable model.
It is a roller that is steered with a fairly long handle. This roller is equipped with several blades that will take off moss and other plant waste stuck to the ground.
To use it, push the roller with the handle and the blades will remove all the harmful vegetable layers.
It is on small gardens that it is best to use the manual scarifier. We refer here to an area not exceeding 100 m². After the works, you can use a rake to remove all the waste caused by the scarification.
It is a scarification device that you connect to an electrical sector. As it is more powerful, this type of scarifier allows you to work on a larger area.
It is estimated that the scarifier can move over a terrain of up to 500 m². But it depends on the length of the electric cable.
It is equipped with claws or blades. This device can move quickly thanks to its wheels, the number of which varies depending on the model.
We can say of this device that it is a more advanced version of the electric scarifier. As can be seen on the Scarifiant.net site, it works from a gasoline engine. So it doesn't need electricity. So no more trailing cables and limited mobility.
In addition, it has a very powerful motor. This power allows him to move very quickly on land of more than 500 m².
As it is equipped with 4 wheels, the thermal scarifier can also face stony or sloping ground.
The collection box with which it is equipped also makes it possible to recover plant waste scraped by the scarifier.
Of all the existing models, the thermal scarifier is the most reliable. Its only drawback is its rather disturbing noise.
