These days this is viewed as an outdated method and is seen as being more harmful than beneficial.
Verticutting is similar to the process of scarifying, but in a vertical, as opposed to a horizontal rotary position, using a professional lawn verti-cutting machine, which is normally used on golf greens and fairways. This has the effect of thinning out creeping or runner lawn types such as Kikuyu and Cynodon-type grasses (Bay View and Gulf Green). The following points are relevant: -
a. Verti-cutting of the lawn prevents thatch build-up.
b. Verti-cuting removes the dead lawn which has built up over the winter months.
c. At the same time, we cut and groom the lawn to a manageable height.
d. All grass cuttings will be bagged and removed to the nearest dump (and there will be plenty!).
e. Benefits of the above will result in deeper penetration of water, air and fertilizer to the root system.

Practically speaking, aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn. These plugs are about 6/8 cm long and about 2/3 cm in diameter. The plug size depends mainly on soil type and how soft the soil is. This process is referred to as core aeration and the machine used is a hollow-tiner.

Benefits are: -
a. Reduces soil compaction.
b. Improves air circulation, water and fertilizer uptake.
c. Enhances thatch breakdown.
d. Improves turf grass rooting.
e. Enhances heat and drought stress tolerance.

It is important to note that the lawn area must not be hard and dry! WATER WELL before aeration is done to achieve optimum results.

We visit your lawn every season (i.e. every 13 weeks) to do the following: -
a. Apply a selective herbicide to control weeds.
b. Apply a light insecticide to control harmful surface insects such as lawn caterpillar, ants etc.
c. Apply a lawn boost to provide much needed nutrients.
d. Apply a slow release fertilizer.
e. Check your lawn to ensure that there is no fungus disease.
f. Leave written instructions on correct watering and mowing.
g. Monitor your lawn to ensure that it is progressing towards a healthy, green state.

We believe that that is how healthy lawns are achieved…… by compounding the gains and improvements made from one season to the next. You need not ever buy or hold any lawn chemicals and fertilizers again.

Whilst we visit and treat your lawn four times a year, we undertake regular, monthly visits to check on progress with you, at no extra cost.

NB. Insects such as ants are constantly on the move and reproducing and therefore cannot be permanently eliminated. We spray an ant-kill insecticide once every three months. Should you require a re spray between quarterly visits, a nominal fee will be charged according to the size of the area concerned.
