Scarifier / Verticutter

Verticutters dig deeper into the turf canopy and penetrate the crown area of the plant, possibly below, severing stolon’s and stems. Verticutting is a deep-cleaning process for the turf canopy. Vertical blades rotate through turf, dredging up thatch and opening the canopy to allow the turf to breath. Verticutting isn't aeration, and it isn't grooming. But often, there is a mix-up between the two and vertical mowing encourages turf to take its vitamins.
