Commercial Lawn Aeration
Customers are always parking on lawns when there is not enough parking or large, heavy vehicle towing trailers. This causes compaction of the soil and requires some treatment to overcome this issue.
Lawn Aeration and Vertimowing
Lawn Aeration
Turf aeration is the use of spikes to push holes into the soil. This allows air into the ground and breaks up the tension slightly into the soil.
Usually, when the spikes enter the ground, you want a penetration of 5-10cm. Unfortunately, a lot of the soils in Perth are hard enough and typically can only penetrate about 5cm.
Turf Coring

Turf Vertimowing
Vertimowing is the removal of the thatch layer of the turf. This is the thick bulk growth of layers of lawn on top of each other.
The removal of these layers allows for better water penetration to the roots and reduction of water and nutrients requirements.
It removes most of the spongy feeling and allows for a better finish on the lawn.
