How to look after your lawn during autumn
In autumn, after the action your lawn sees during summer, your grass might be looking a little worse for wear. However, don’t worry, autumn is the best season to reinvigorate your lawn. The soil is still warm enough to encourage new growth ready for next year, and there are plenty of tools to help you achieve perfection, as we explain in our autumn lawn care guide.
Thatch is made up of old grass cuttings and other organic material that has settled on top of new grass blocking sunlight and moisture. If left for too long thatch causes problems with the grass below, limiting its growth and potentially exposing it to disease.
To de-thatch or scarify your lawn, all you need to do is rake over your grass with a spring tine rake or, for an easy method, use a Flymo Lawn Rake Compact 3400. De-thatching removes the dead material leaving your grass in prime condition for the winter.
