handles and stiff scratch-free
bristles. They help removing
stubborn dust.

Scarifying machine − It is used for keeping
gardens, golf courts, and lawn in the hotel
premises well maintained. It cuts through the
turf, and removes moss and dead grass. It
helps grow spongy lawn. Scarifiers have fixed
knife blades attached to the rotary cylinder.

as string mops, flat mops, dust mops, and
synthetic mops. Mops are generally made of
flat cotton strings or heavy-duty sponges fixed
on the metal frames.
PARTS
Lawn scarifiers use steel blades to
cut out thatch; hence it is also known
as de-thatching. In machines these
will rotate whilst manual tools like
the rolling lawn scarifier will not.
Lawn thatch by its very nature is
removed more easily by this cutting
action and the result is a firmer lawn
that allows the passage of air,
nutrients and water easily into it.
Take scarifying a step further by
letting the scarifier blades cut into
the soil and you will open the soil
surface and make an ideal seed bed
for introducing new grass seed to
your lawn.
