FAQs

How often should I scarify my lawn?

Generally, scarify your lawn once or twice a year, typically in spring or fall, to remove thatch and promote healthy growth.

What is thatch?

Thatch is a layer of dead grass, stems, and roots that accumulates between the soil surface and the green blades of grass. It can prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil.

Can I use the scarifying rake on any type of grass?

Yes, the scarifying rake can be used on most types of grass. However, avoid excessive use on delicate grasses.

How do I sharpen the tines?

Use a metal file to sharpen the tines. Be careful and wear gloves.

What is FSC® approved ash wood?

FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures that the wood comes from responsibly managed forests.

What is the length of the rake?

The rake is 155cm long.

How should I store the rake?

Store the rake in a dry place to prevent rust on the tines and to protect the wooden handle.

Is the handle replaceable?

The handle is designed for durability; however, it is possible to replace if necessary. Consult Kent & Stowe customer service for replacement options.

Troubleshooting

Tines are not effectively removing thatch.

Ensure the tines are sharp. If dull, consider sharpening them or replacing the rake. Apply more pressure and work in overlapping rows.

The rake is difficult to maneuver.

Check the lawn conditions, ensure the ground is not overly wet, and adjust your posture and grip for better control.

Rust appears on the tines.

Clean the tines with rust remover and a fine steel wool. Dry thoroughly and store the rake in a dry place.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required for the Kent & Stowe Scarifying Rake. Simply unpack and it is ready to use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove any debris (grass, thatch, etc.) from the tines. Wipe the tines and handle with a damp cloth.
  2. Storage: Store the rake in a dry place to prevent rust and wood degradation.
  3. Handle Care: Apply a wood protectant or oil to the handle periodically to maintain its appearance and prevent drying or cracking.
  4. Tine Maintenance: Inspect the tines regularly for any damage. While the stainless steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. If rust appears, remove it promptly with a rust remover and fine steel wool.
