Why does my lawn need Verticutting/



  1. Every type of grass creates thatch.
  2. Thatch accumulates naturally.
  3. Over fertilization contributes to thatch.
  4. Removing the thatch opens up the lawn allowing water, fertilizers, pesticides and the sun to reach the root system better.
  5. Over watering, and over fertilizing increase the top growth.
  6. The most popular grass in Central and So. Florida is St. Augustine.
  7. Unlike most other grasses St. Augustine's will grow in layers, making mowing more difficult.
  8. The layering magnifies all the problems stated above.
  9. Then if your mowing with your trusty 21" mower, in the cool Florida sun, you may need a cold beer break every 20 minutes?
The Remedy?


  1. Start at sunrise mowing 
  2. If you can't wear a hat, tie a umbrella to your back.
  3. Wear a Camelbak drinking device, used by mountain-bikers.
  4. Always wear sun screen #30
  5. If your wife talked you into this mowing stuff; read on this blog: Is it really a man's world?
Or 
Try this
  Plugging or aerating will surely relieve the top growth,
and waste your money.

Or, the truth is this is the only machine build for Verticutting,
cleaning and thinning Florida lawns.
