If you want a healthy lawn dead grass and weeds need to be removed to let moisture and nutrients get the the roots and regular dethatching is a necessary chore.
Try doing this with a tined rake and you’ll soon see why dethatching machines are becoming increasingly popular.
And here’s one of our best sellers from a top German engineering company which will shortly be back in stock.
The Einhell BG-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier is currently on special offer and represents great value for money.
Eighteen double-sided steel blades remove moss and dead grass and as they revolve the machine is propelled forward making it very easy to use.
This is suitable for lawns around 1000 sq metres and has a 45 litre catcher. But if scarifying the lawn for the first time you should leave the box off and rake up the debris.
It is fitted with a 118 cc 4-stroke petrol engine and wide wheels which make it easy to steer.
The maker’s recommended retail price is £499.95 but we have it for sale for £279.95,
It has a two years warranty from Einhell and we deliver it free the next working day.
New stock is arriving early September but you can pre-order now to reserve your machine
