Are Electric Dethatchers and Scarifiers The Same Thing

One of the most common points of confusion I see in people looking to dethatch a lawn is that they get all confused by the variety of equipment terms thrown around. Scarifiers and dethatchers are one example of two terms frequently used interchangeably but in the real word are actually describing two different but similar processes.

I should note that in this video I talk mostly about electric homeowner grade dethatchers and scarifiers but their are bigger commercial grade options available as well (which are usually rented by homeowners) that work similarly but are far more aggressive in the work they get done.

If you are considering buying an electric scarifier/dethatcher for use in your yard then make sure to see the following linked article on my website where I compare your best options as well as the most common options year-owners opt for.

►About Me◄
My name is Brian Mounts. I run the popular lawn care YouTube channel, Turf Mechanic, where I publish mostly long form lawn care guides and informational content.

You can find that channel here:    / turfmechanic  

This channel is different; I post mostly short-form videos on very specific topics in the lawn care space. My target audience here are people new to lawn care, those who have very specific questions about larger topics.

I also own and operate TurfMechanic.com. Combined I educate hundreds of thousands of people each and every month on all the various topics of DIY lawn care.
