Can’t believe how much comes out of this lawn! Scarification // De-Thatch

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Could almost hear that front lawn breathe a sigh of relief as you were rippin all that moss and thatch out. I say it every time - Always amazing how much gets pulled up. Nice one chap 👍

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Definitely! Finishing off the renovation next week after these frosts then I’m looking forward to seeing it become a healthy lawn again!🙌🏽. Thank you Andy🙌🏽🌱

[@Ludicris123]

great job! have to admit the edging is a guilty pleasure to watch, nothing beats seeing a fine edge being created :)

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thank you 🙌🏽🌱. Yeah I swear at some point I’m going to land a garden where I can make a whole video on creating flush edges 🤣 stay tuned !🌱😄

[@becca1927]

Your the only person I've saw using a edging blade in the UK, I've only ever saw it being used in the States. Like the company at me work only uses a mower and weed killer for the edges.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Yeah it’s a very commercial thing to do, personally speaking though I hate the look of brown dead edges 🤦🏻‍♂️, I understand how it works for time etc though, but for my clients - there’s nothing better than a clean cut edge!😄🌱

[@AlexanderMacleod]

The thatch in the front garden was absolutely crazy.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

I know right ! Definitely never been done, hopefully after this full renovation we will be able to keep it maintained 💪🏽🌱. Always surprises me though 😂

[@AlexanderMacleod]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance I'm sure it does

[@steva30]

Good job mate! I think i need this done!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

One of the best things you can do for the lawn !😄

[@RJLgardens]

Nice work mate, edges looking tidy.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thank you bud, really Makes the difference 🙌🏽

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance Defo mate, sets you apart from those mow and go type guys.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@RJLgardens yeah well there has to be something separating us, I think as long as you try and do a good job instead of rushing then people will always appreciate the work 🌱💪🏽

[@LawnRight]

That edger really finishes things off. Great video mate! I just cut a square today out of a lawn too 😁😊

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thanks Sean!, it does a great job against a solid slab or edge, was a nightmare on the driveway edge with the cement run off for the blocking. Always try to offer it within the package where possible though 🙌🏽

[@thelittlelawnsod4161]

Great video mate. Still can’t believe the amount that you pulled out of the front

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

It just wasn't stopping! definitely needed it though, I will try get a follow up video in the next 6 weeks

[@xyzabc4178]

If you tipped the waste in a regular commercial tip instead of tipping in a dedicated garden waste bay or at a composting site, that’s going to cost more than double per tonne

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Unfortunately we only have commercial sites here or council sites. Commercial tip is £43.50 per Tonne. Half Tonne £21.75 - not a bad price for removal of waste at all in my opinion

[@scottellwoodgardening287]

Great video mate. Plenty moss came out of that will only make it better come summer.

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Exactly scott, overseed and top dressing next week then hopefully see it fill out well by the end of may 🙌🏽🌱

[@briantwigley]

Great video, I live in Elgin, great to see a good local company on KZbin and Instagram, will be following for some tips 👍🏻

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi Brian, thank you very much for commenting! That’s brilliant to see people in the local area watching the videos ! Hope my videos and those yet to come will be able to help you out 😄🌱

good stuff mate 👍 had a few new scarifys this week that have never been scarified in their life (couple of passes until the grass starts to win the battle 😁. starting using prokleen liquid this season very happy with it 👍 keep up the good work

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Yeah it really burns it off 🙌🏽 great product and a reasonable price, you always know it’s a rip out job when a lawn has never been done 😅

Get a bungee cord to keep chute open

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

It is tied open pal 😂 genuinely used a good amount of times since this video and never has that happen again. It was just seriously a lot! Make sure you check out the follow up video in the description 💪🏽🌱

Are tine scarifiers far more gentle to use

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Definitely, but this was 100% needed. Check the link in the description for the follow up video 😄

[@movingforward1981]

Wow that is a crazy amount of debris out the front being pulled up

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

South facing ! It was really bad, and looks like it used to take a beating each winter, hopefully after this alongside, yearly treatments and scarification it will help 😄🌱

Great video what model of edger are you using thank you

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thank you Joseph! It’s Husqvarna 325iLk combi with the straight shaft edger attachment 🙌🏽🌱

Great video, #edgegoals

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Thank you 🙌🏽🌱 it’s a must on any high profile job or regular 💪🏽😄

[@jamieclarke8776]

Hi Sam, interested to know…. After each pass, would you lower the height of the scarifier or would you keep it at the same height?

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Hi jamie ! Thanks for commenting 💪🏽, genuinely you have to play it by site and feel, depending on how hard you want hit it, if there is loads coming out I’ll sometimes keep it on the same setting especially first couple of runs just to try to get the worst out then I’ll drop the height. If you drop it too much too soon, it will either be a pain to push the Scarifier, it will clog or you won’t get as good of a consistent scarification🌱 Hope that helps pal!

[@jamieclarke8776]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance thanks for that mate great help as always 👍 what is the model of the weibang scarifier mate. Looks like a great piece of equipment that. I have seen the eliet 501 petrol scarifier which is fantastic but is close too 2 grand!!

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@jamieclarke8776 it is expensive but would last years ! This is it pal weibang.uk.com/index.php/products/scarifiers/weibang-wb384rb-scarifier.html if you shop around I believe I got it for around £800-£850.. just fluctuates, but this machine is brilliant, I love it😄.

What strummer were you using there?

It’s the Husqvarna 325iLk combi With the strimmer and edger attachment, great bit of kit !💪🏽🌱

[@myopenmind527]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance think I have a lawn that would rival that for thatch & moss. Did a test scarification. It never been touched in 15 years. Got 1,400 litres out. I’ve decided to over seed. Fingers crossed. If this works I’ll be doing the rest next spring. We have 2/3rd of an acre so a daunting task ahead. I’m afraid to go at it in September because it may never recover.

[@myopenmind527]

@@JayRockGroundsMaintenance the strummer looks the Biz. 👍

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

@@myopenmind527 oh wow you are right, that would be daunting ! Remember though it would just be the same process. But at that size, a lot of money! Some seed should definitely take, then just hit it with some feed before a rainy couple of days and I’m sure you’ll see something 🙌🏽🌱
