Frequently Asked Questions About Verticutting & Fraise Mowing
How often should verticutting be done?
The frequency of verticutting depends on the condition of your turf surface. Generally, it’s recommended to use verticutting machines once or twice a year for regular maintenance. However, sport fields, horse race tracks and golf courses with excessive thatch may require more frequent verticutting.
When do you use a fraise mower instead of a verticutting machine?
Fraise mowing is not a routine maintenance practice but is typically done as part of a turf renovation process. It’s usually performed when the turf needs significant renovation due to thatch buildup, weed infestation, or other issues.
How does fraise mowing compare to verticutting and scarifying?
Fraise mowers like Redexim’s Turf-Stripper are more aggressive than both verticutting and scarifying as it removes a thicker layer of turf material. It’s often used for more intensive renovation or to prepare the turf for overseeding.
How does scarifying differ from verticutting?
Scarifying is typically more intensive than verticutting. While verticutting machines focus on vertically cutting through the thatch layer, scarifiers involve more aggressive horizontal cutting to remove thatch and other debris from the surface.
How to remove thatch after verticutting, scarifying or fraise mowing?
After verticutting or scarifying , allow the thatch to dry. Once dried, use a blower to move the thatch to the side, particularly into the rough (or designated collection area) on golf courses. To efficiently collect and remove the thatch straight after scarifying, consider utilising specialised equipment like Redexim’s Turf-Tidy.
Following fraise mowing, debris removal is streamlined with equipment like Redexim’s Turf-Stripper. This machine features a side arm conveyor designed to transfer the debris directly into a trailer for easy removal from the surface. This method ensures a clean finish and efficient disposal of the removed material.
