On our visit today we have made a note recommending Lawn Verti-grooming i.e. a light scarification for your lawn.
We understand that you like your lawn to look healthy and vibrant.
In addition to regular mowing verti-grooming and annual aeration are great ways to get the best lawn in the neighbourhood.
It’s a pro active step to:
- Maintain thatch levels
- Allow water and nutrients to reach the soil and roots
- A proactive integrated control of moss and annual weeds
- Promote better air circulation reducing the risk of fungal disease
- Remove conditions favoured by lawn pests e.g. Chafer Grub and Leather Jacket
This technique causes little to no damage to the healthy blades of grass that make up the turf.
Verti-grooming promotes better air circulation through the soil, reducing the risk of fungal diseases and promoting healthier grass growth.
When not removed thatch build up can prevent nutrients and water from reaching the soil and grass roots. Verti-grooming cutting helps break up this barrier, so you get the best from your lawn.

In summary, Verti-grooming is the process of managing the thatch build-up that is on the lawn, allowing the turf to breathe better. It allows the grass to absorb nutrients and moisture more efficiently, it does this by ensuring that all the moisture is absorbed by the fresh, young blades of grass instead of the thatch.
