• Circle around ower beds. When reaching a ower bed
in the middle of the lawn, make a row or two around the
circumference of the bed.
• Pay special attention when changing direction.
Scarifying
Consider the weather when scarifying. Scarify the lawn with an
increased depth setting during spring time between April and
May as the lawn is better able to recover during this season.
During a wet summer scarify again in late summer with a
decreased depth setting. Do not scarify during periods of hot
weather condition. During a dry rainless summer do not scarify
a second time in autumn.
Raking
In order for a healthy lawn to develop in the spring, it is
necessary for greater amounts of air to penetrate the area
around the roots of the grass. We recommend aerating the
lawn every 4 – 6 weeks depending on the state of your lawn.
