This versatile corded verticutter provides excellent all-year-round results, delivering fast and effective ground cutting to encourage new lawn growth, along with moss and thatch removal thanks for the jet-collect system. If the grass that makes up your lawn is not particularly thick, set the blades about three inches apart from each other.

This will starve the grass of everything it needs while it’s in the middle of what should be a growth cycle. Conversely, you might want to dethatch late in the summer to address thatch that has built up from multiple mowings during the year.

However, this time you will have to make strips on an adjacent side, moving back and forth until you complete the whole lawn.

You will need to cut your lawn before you verticut to a reasonable height- of course using a cylinder it would be cut quite short anyway. It is not as precise as Verticutting, and it can easily damage healthy blades of grass as it removes thatch. Should multiple verticutting sessions be required just try to keep in mind what I said about not using the device during an extremely dry period or on scorching hot days when the sun is beating down. While Verticutting focuses on removing thatch alone, aerating also removes grass (to give the remaining blades of grass more breathing space).When you are using a Verticutter, you should always prevent it from damaging objects that may be laying on the ground and buried in the grass. On arrival we will perform a full demonstration for you of the functionality of the machine and give any training that is required, so you are confident using your new machine before we leave you, an essential option for a new or occasional user. To jumpstart the process of recovery and growth in the turf, you need to water grass thoroughly and with abundant water. However, if your lawn is comprised of a fast-growing grass like Kentucky bluegrass or creeping bentgrass you may have to.

Both machines are designed to eliminate the layer of thatch that quietly but persistently accumulates between the blade tops and the soil.Choosing this service at checkout means your product will be assembled, tested and delivered via a pallet network.
