Product Information

May to early June is an ideal time to do this as your lawn should be fully out of danger for any type of dormancy. In addition, our verticutting machines come standard with a full floating hitch, allowing you to maintain consistent depth of cut. Using a TurfTime verticutter will help alleviate this problem and build a foundation for truly healthy grass plants.

Luckily, Verticutting is a technique that is capable of quickly and effectively getting rid of excess thatch without damaging the turf.

British manufacturers Dennis and SISIS have chosen SALTEX 2021, to be held at the NEC Birmingham on 3 and 4 November, to showcase the E-Series - a new range of battery-powered turf maintenance equipment.A dethatcher uses specialized horizontal blades to remove decaying material down into the root zone and can damage existing grass. Now, compared to it’s other counterparts with widths of up to 43cm, this might be a potential disadvantage; however, it could also be beneficial if it’s to be used in a smaller areas and lawns with more narrow strips. It doesn’t have a particular issue with moss or anything, so it’s more about tidying it up – we do have a big tree that sheds its leave starting about now, so ideally I would love to be able to run the Bosch over to just pick up them up without scarifying.

However, this method is incredibly labor-intensive, slow and impractical, especially for those with large lawns. Early spring or fall are good times to verticut but the morning or evening after a rain makes it even better. The collection box on the Bosch attaches to the rear of the rake (like a lawn mower), this is the reason Bosch can achieve such a large collection box. Verticutting is part of a comprehensive approach that uses a specially designed machine to thin, dethatch and aerate for improved health and appearance. 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.For thatch more than an inch thick, you’ll get better results from a more aggressive dethatching tool, such as a power rake or dethatcher. If you water your lawn two or three days before Verticutting, the damp soil will make the process easier. This is the one machine you need to ensure that thatch poses no risk to the turf you’ve worked so hard to grow. Verticutting helps you get rid of thatch, insects, diseases, and debris without damaging the healthy blades of grass that make up your turf. The Flymo has 6 height adjustments (compared to only 4 on the Bosch) and there is a single height adjustment lever on the back wheels of the Flymo.
