Lawn Scarifiers And Rakers
Best Electric Scarifiers/Lawn Rakes Reviewed
If you have a lawn, and you want it to be healthy, then you really should be using a scarifier or lawn rake from time to time. Scarifiers, also known as de-thatchers, remove grass cuttings, moss and other garden debris, by cutting into the soil. This action also helps to keep the soil free of weeds and healthy by improving the circulation of air. When scarifying is ignored, the debris known as ‘thatch’ can form and cause a variety of problems for your lawn, such as making it seem ‘spongy’ or not draining water properly. When it gets thick enough, it basically chokes your grass by restricting the things it needs to grow, namely water, sunlight and oxygen. Thatch isn’t the only thing you need to scarify, dead weeds and leaves can also sit down there in the soil and will cause similar issues if not removed. Scarifying is essentially just deep raking and you can use a normal garden rake to do it but it will be rather labour and time intensive if you have even a small lawn let alone a medium to large one. Most people these days prefer to save time and energy by investing in an electric or petrol scarifier, or electric lawn rake which is a similar tool, instead.

On this page we have picked out the best electric scarifiers/ lawn rakes for you and given them each a review. Let’s get started…

2. Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400
This product from Flymo is a lawn rake, not a scarifier or aerator. What’s the difference? Well, lawn rakes tend to have thinner tines than scarifiers and don’t turn over the soil. This lawn rake has a 34cm rake width and 6 raking height settings to choose from, ranging from -5mm to +8mm. It is powered by a 750W electric motor that does a good job of providing enough power to shift moss and thatch. The waste is automatically compressed to save space, so the 34 litre capacity collection box can hold a fair amount. There is a handy window so that you can see how full the collection box is getting without the need to remove it. The Flymo lawnrake has been designed to be compact and the foldable handles help make it easy to store away. It measures 66 x 46.6 x 39 cm and weighs 12.3 kilograms. The 12 metre cable length is longer than average and the extra few metres comes in handy.
