Scarifying and dethatching can both provide excellent results in lawn health and appearance, but it's important to know the difference between each tool so that you don't cause more harm than good.
While they both essentially remove debris from the lawn, there are some key design and performance differences that can affect the impact that it has in your backyard. A common misconception is that the machines are large, heavy and bulky, but the process of scarifying and / or dethatching can easily be carried out at home whilst fixing patchy grass with more portable, manoeuvrable machines.
