Vertimowing
If your grass has become spongy to walk on, appears unhealthy, and scalps readily, it may require vertimowing. A build up of thatch is likely the cause of these issues and is a very common problem in Kwinana lawns.
Why is Vertimowing so good for your lawn?
Vertimowing (also known as scarifying or dethatching) is a labor-intensive mowing service that uses specialised mowers, with verticle blades, to remove dead runners and organic material, know as thatch, from your lawn. This can have huge benefits for a lawn; here are four reasons why:
- It improves water absorption and retention
Water from rain or reticulation will be absorbed by the lawns thatch before it reaches the root zone. This water is subsequently wasted to evaporation before it can do any good for the lawn. In severe circumstances, 50-75 percent of the water can be wasted in this manner. A professional vertimowing service will completely remove the lawns thatch and allows water to reach the root zone, where it is needed. - Improves the colour and brightness of the lawn
Vertimowing, in the same way it improves water infiltration, can also increase nutrient uptake from fertilisers. Once vertimowed, lawns soon rebound to a darker, more appealing colour. This colour can then be maintained by regular fertilising, as it is not being wasted in the thatch. Be careful though as over fertilisation can cause more thatch to re appear. - Assists in preventing scalping
Mowers begin to “sink” into the lawn as thatch accumulates over time. This causes the lwn to become easy to scalp and very difficult to mow. This problem will be resolved by vertimowing the thatch. - Aids in the prevention of fungi
Some fungal illnesses thrive in moist, humid environments created by damp lawn thatch. Vertimowing aids in the prevention of these diseases.
Our Vertimowing Method
To achieve the greatest results for your lawns, Silverstone Gardening employs the highest grade vertimowing equipment. Each service contains:
- Thatch removal
- Mowing to reduce the height of the lawn
- Application of high-quality fertiliser, wetting agent, and soil amendments to promote new, lush growth.

Vertimowing is a messy and labor-intensive service that generates a lot of waste.

Our gardeners cover the Baldivis area and are happy to answer any questions you have regarding the procedure.
Aeration
Aeration is a necessary service for anyone who wants to have a great lawn in the Kwinana area. Lawn aerator punch holes into the lawn to reduce soil compaction. Aeration provides numerous advantages for a lawn; here are five significant advantages for WA lawns.
- Improves soil wetness in dry or hydrophobic conditions
Hydrophobic soils repel water and are a major issue in the Kwinana area. Aeration, particularly when combined with a wetting ingredient, can provide significant benefits to your grass by boosting its ability to absorb water. - Improves root growth
The harder a soil is to penetrate (due to soil compaction), the fewer roots there are in the soil. Aeration promotes root growth in your lawn by reducing soil compaction. Deeper, more numerous roots make your lawn more resistant to hot and dry weather, reducing the need for excessive watering. - Enhances your lawn’s responsiveness to fertiliser
Aeration aids in the delivery of fertilisers to the root layer, where they are required. As a result, lawns that have been aerated will respond much better to fertilisation. - Toxic gas emissions from the soil
Toxic gases can accumulate in the soil of lawns. This is especially true for fungal illnesses that create harmful fumes, such as fairy ring. Aeration opens up the soil and aids in the discharge of these poisonous gases, which can have significant health benefits for the lawn.
Our aeration system
To aerate our clients’ lawns, Silverstone Gardening exclusively uses high-quality machinery. These machines dig deep, clean holes to provide the most benefit to your lawns.
We may also combine fertiliser and wetting agent applications with our aeration services to provide a significant boost to your lawn.
Top Dressing
Top dressing is the process of applying a thin coating of soil or sand to the surface of a grass in order to increase its quality. The four primary advantages of top dressing are as follows:
- Grass Leveling
Lumpy or uneven lawns are easy to scalp, especially when cut with a cylinder mower. Top dressing will fill in the low areas of the grass, resulting in a much more level finish and a more appealing lawn. - Improving Soil Quality
Top dressing can boost the organic content of the lawns soil profile if a high quality soil improver is used. This can provide considerable long-term benefits to your lawns and is especially effective when combined with core aeration. This is because the beneficial soil fills the core holes, thus moving deeper into the soil profile rather then just sitting on the surface. - Assisting the lawn’s recovery from injury or sickness
Top dressing can also aid in the recovery of damaged parts of a lawn. A light top dress over a bare patch might shorten the time it takes for the lawn to recover to full health. - Assisting in the control of thatch
While top dressing will not fix a genuinely thatchy lawn, it will help to prevent thatch buildup and lessen the need for vertimowing.
