Product Information

Finally, you are ready to use the Verticutter on your lawn. First, start its motor by pushing the on/off button. Then, being guiding it as you would regularly do with an automated push mower. Both machines are designed to eliminate the layer of thatch that quietly but persistently accumulates between the blade tops and the soil. If left to its own devices this layer of thatch can rob your lawn of nutrients, air and sunshine.

It provides cushioning and reduces compression in high-traffic areas. However, too much thatch can become a big problem for your lawn as it absorbs the air, water, and food that should be going to the younger turf. As a method of controlling weeds and weed grasses without using harmful chemicals- gives weeds a hard time If at all possible, do not fertilize your lawn for 45 days before Verticutting. The reason for this is that fertilizer will add to the thatch, increasing its volume and making it harder for the Verticutter to do its job.

The verticutter, with its row of sharp, aggressively shaped blades is designed to cut vertically (hence “verticutter”) through the clippings, twigs and other detritus without damaging the grass and chop the stolons into little pieces that can then be easily removed. Verticutting is usually done after seeding to help ensure the seeds take. Before Verticutting, you will have to prepare the lawn by cutting your grass. Be sure to set your mower to the lowest setting for the type of grass you will be cutting. Use a bagger or container attachment on your mower to collect all the grass clippings. If you don’t have a bagger, rake the grass clippings. You want to ensure that your lawn is free from as many clippings as possible. Robust drum with stainless steel blades and airflow inlets efficiently removes layers of thatch that consist of plant debris, moss and weeds from your lawn There are some who would argue that verticutting and dethatching are the most important things to know when it comes to lawn care and I wouldn’t necessarily argue with that. If your lawn requires verticutting and you neglect to do it in a timely fashion you could be seriously undermining the health of the lawn long term. Same with dethatching.

After preparing, Verticutting, and fertilizing your grass, you are very close to finishing the entire process. To jumpstart the process of recovery and growth in the turf, you need to water grass thoroughly and with abundant water.
