With a reinforced 3.6 mm steel engine base, steel guards, and premium bearings, the PR550H offers solid performance that holds up under constant use.

Kick-starting the ABCs of lawn care

Stronger grass from the ground up

A great lawn doesn’t happen by chance, it starts with the right care. Scarifying is the first step in the ABC of lawn care, tackling one of the most common barriers to healthy grass: thatch.

With Billy Goat scarifiers, you can breathe new life into tired lawns, open them up to nutrients and moisture, and prepare the surface for overseeding. Our blog breaks down what thatch is, what causes it, and how to time scarifying for the best results.
