Create the perfect lawn

with RYOBI’s 18V Scarifier. Scarifying and aerating your lawn is a simple, yet highly beneficial, way to keep your lawn happy and healthy. It removes the layer of dead grass and moss, called thatch, that sits on top of the soil and prevents rainwater from draining deep under the ground where it is needed the most. The Scarifier gently perforates the soil to breathe life back into your lawn and promote growth.

Why do you need to use a scarifier or aerator?
TO WAKE UP YOUR LAWN
Overtime, our lawns become full of moss and other debris which prevents rain, sunshine, and nutrients from keeping grass roots healthy. The consequences of not removing the debris can be devastating, leaving your lawn looking soggy and dull. To help keep your lawn healthy, Ryobi has launched the 18V ONE+ Brushless Scarifier - the tool you need to create the perfect lawn.

WHEN TO SCARIFY? WHEN TO AERATE?

Scarifying your lawn is an extremely beneficial procedure to keep your grass in a good and healthy condition. For best results, it's important to scarify and aerate your lawn at the right time of year and in the right conditions. Please follow our guide below to learn about when to scarify and when to aerate.

How to create the perfect lawn
Top Tips
Your first time scarifying and aerating your lawn can be a little daunting. Here are our top tips and suggestions to help you do the job better.
HOW DO I USE
THE SCARIFIER?
1
Ensure lawn is dry
Don’t scarify when it’s wet as you could risk yanking out the grass by the root, removing the grass itself as well as the thatch.
2
Mow lawn to 4cm
This will remove excess grass and dice up any thatch patches. Short grass allows air into the turf which dries the grass.
3
Select height setting depending on amount of thatch
for deep scarifying choose a low setting and light scarifying choose a high setting.

HOW DO I USE
THE AERATOR?
1
Mow, scarify & water the day before
to make sure the thatch is removed and the soil is moist enough. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to aerate soil that is bone dry.
2
Select height needed to reach soil
to poke holes into the soil and reach the roots. You don’t want to be aerating the grass or thatch, and not reach the bit that counts.

4
Fertilise & apply top dressing
add some grass seed at the end of the process and then cover the seed with a mixture of some fine compost and sharp sand to protect the pockets.
Selecting the right height setting
Follow these simple steps to select the right height setting.
1
Place the scarifier on your lawn
This should be done after you have mowed the lawn to 4cm.
2
Move the scarifier a short distance back and forth
Ensure the motor is running. Do this slowly not to damage the lawn.
3
Check to see if the blades just touch the ground
Being mindful to do this with the motor running.
4
Raise if deep tracks or lower if no tracks
To ensure the perfect height setting for scarifying or aerating.

Final Tips

  • As a rule of thumb, manicured lawns should be used on Setting 1 and unmanaged lawns on Setting 3
  • If scarifying when very dry, immediately water the lawn after
  • Always fertilise your lawn after scarifying and avoid walking on it for a week
  • In autumn, always rake up the leaves first
