Scarifying and aerating for sustainable lawn care

STIHL specialises in producing powerful and reliable machines for garden, forest and landscape maintenance. Founded in 1926 by Andreas Stihl, the company has become one of the leading brands in the industry. STIHL produces a wide range of machines, including chainsaws, hedge trimmers, brush cutters and leaf blowers, ideal for green sector professionals as well as private individuals.

Known for its innovative technology, high quality and durability of its products, the company has since built a strong reputation. Especially its scarifiers and various mowers are wildly popular.

The basis for thick, vigorous growth

STIHL lawn aerators and scarifiers effectively remove weeds and felted grass. This gives lawns light and air to grow fast and dense. But what if there is infestation from weeds and moss? Or stubborn matting? Then scarifying is the solution. With a STIHL scarifier, garden owners have a powerful tool at hand that effectively helps them on their way to a beautiful and healthy lawn. The machines cut into the grass and remove anything that inhibits its growth. And they do so in a single operation. After scarifying, the grass is again better supplied with light and nutrients. That is the basis for dense, vigorous growth.

Scarifiers for healthy lawns

Which STIHL scarifier is best suited depends mainly on the size of the plot to be treated. For a small or medium-sized lawn, a cordless or electric scarifier is suitable. Need more power, for large lawns, for example? Then a petrol scarifier is the right choice.

The petrol scarifiers are equipped with an easy-starting system (SmartChoke technology). It makes work particularly comfortable, as the engine starts effortlessly at any temperature and with minimal effort. The petrol scarifiers convince not only with their power, but also with a pleasantly soft noise of less than 100 decibels. The emission-free battery and electric scarifiers are also optimised down to the smallest detail: for example, for the electric grass aerators this includes the integrated cable strain relief. This technology prevents the cable from sliding under the machine on the lawn.

All models are equipped with up to twenty fixed blades, which guarantee even and effective aeration. The polymer housing of the lawn aerator is very sturdy and at the same time low in weight, and its compact design simplifies manoeuvring and transport. The folding push bar allows for space-saving storage of the machine. To always achieve equally good results on different lawns, the cutting depth can be easily readjusted from the push bar.

Petrol, battery or electric mowing?

‘Perfect greenery’ means something different to everyone. For some, it is an immaculate playing field behind the house, for others a perfectly trimmed English lawn in the front garden. But all these areas have one thing in common: they need regular mowing. But is that best done with a petrol, battery or electric lawnmower?

Petrol-powered lawn mowers are particularly suitable for medium and large lawns thanks to their higher power and larger cutting width. It is not without reason that many landscape gardeners, horticulturists and ambitious private users use powerful petrol-powered lawn mowers for their green spaces. 

Flexible cordless lawnmowers are not only good for the grass, but also for the rest of the environment. Because these compact, powerful machines are quiet and emission-free. In your own garden, the low noise level of the machines is an absolute advantage. Thanks to the high-quality lithium-ion batteries, strong engine power is always achieved. At the same time, the integrated eco mode ensures that the engine speed of the lawnmower is automatically adjusted to the power actually required. Thus, the cordless lawnmower uses less energy and can handle a larger area.

Electric lawnmowers are equally quiet and have equally low emissions. Due to their low-noise operation, electric lawnmowers are also always a good choice for mowing jobs near a home. Moreover, the compact models convince thanks to their lightweight components, slim construction and powerful electric motors.
