Frequently asked questions about scarifiers and lawn aerators

What is a scarifier and what is the difference to a lawn aerator?

A scarifier is a garden tool used to break up the top layer of the lawn and remove dead grass debris and moss. This encourages the growth of new grass roots.
Similarly, the lawn aerator; a garden tool used to aerate and aerate the lawn. Aerating the lawn loosens the soil, allowing more oxygen, water and nutrients to reach the roots and encourage grass growth. A lawn aerator can also help remove dead grass and moss from the lawn to encourage new grass growth. Unlike a scarifier, which cuts deeply into the turf, a lawn aerator uses flat blades or forks to poke small holes in the soil and aerate the soil. There are manual and motorised lawn aerators, which are usually either roller or spindle aerators.
When and how often should you scarify the lawn?

The best time to scarify depends on the type of lawn. In general, it is best to scarify the lawn in spring or autumn when the grass is actively growing and the weather is cool enough not to stress the lawn. It is recommended to scarify the lawn only when it really needs it, as too frequent scarification can weaken the lawn. In general, you should scarify the lawn no more than once a year.
How much does a good scarifier cost?

The price of a good scarifier can vary depending on the brand, model and features. In general, basic electric scarifiers can cost between CHF 100 and CHF 300. Better, petrol-powered scarifiers are usually more expensive and can cost between 300 and 1000 euros, depending on size and power.
One of the most popular devices for simple but professional scarifying is the Einhell Electric Scarifier, which costs just under CHF 230 new. At Sharely you can rent it for as little as CHF 17 per day.
Which scarifier is the best?

There are many different scarifiers on the market. The best lawn aerator depends on the size of your lawn and the condition of the soil. Very popular are products from manufacturers such as Stihl, Gardena or Einhell, of which there are almost 200 products for rent on Sharely - from manual scarifiers for small lawns to professional lawn aerators for hard soil and football pitches. You can find a current test here.
Is it better to buy or rent a scarifier?

That depends, of course, on how often you have a lawn to maintain. Since it is recommended to scarify the lawn as seldom as possible and ideally only in spring or autumn, it is not worth buying an expensive machine.
For example, you can rent a professional machine like the Bosch AVR 1100 scarifier from Sharely for as little as CHF 12. If you want to scarify your lawn once a year, you can rent a top model for 25 years instead of buying one that will quickly become obsolete.
