What is scarifier?
A scarifier is a device whose task is to create longitudinal cuts in the soil.

Petrol or electric scarifier?
The most important difference between the two types of scarifiers is their engine, because the quality of the scarification performed is unchanged. The combustion scarifier is powered by a combustion engine, which is characterized by high efficiency and considerable power. The downside of the combustion engine is its noise, which can often be comparable to that of combustion lawn mowers. Electric scarifiers are devices fully powered by an electric motor, making them completely emission-free and quieter than their combustion counterparts. It is worth emphasizing, however, that an electric scarifier may turn out to be cumbersome due to the cable that is pulled behind the device. Our store offers both electric and combustion scarifiers, so the choice is very wide.
What is an Aerator?
Aerator is a device similar to a scarifier, with the difference that its task is to properly aerate the ground by making hundreds of tiny punctures. Today's scarifiers are actually devices combining a scarifier and an aerator because it is enough to replace the scarifying roller with an aerating roller.
Why does the scarifier have a basket?
Each scarifier is equipped with a basket that collects cut felt, i.e. a tightly packed layer of rhizomes and shoots. The ever-increasing layer of felt makes the lawn worse and worse because the felt reduces access to air, sunlight and water. This is why regular scarification and aeration of the lawn is so important.
