Achieve Professional Turf Density
The Allett C-Range Powered Verticutter Cartridge is a specialised accessory designed for lawn enthusiasts and professionals seeking the highest quality turf. It is equipped with backward-inclined blades engineered to prune the grass, which in turn improves tillering and encourages stolon formation. This process is fundamental for increasing the density of the sward, making it an indispensable tool for anyone aiming to create and maintain fine turfs, such as those found on bowling greens and golf greens.
Key Benefits and Applications
This powered cartridge offers several key advantages for comprehensive lawn care. Its primary recommended uses include:
- Thatch Control: It efficiently removes the dead and dying grass plants that would otherwise accumulate and contribute to the thatch layer, promoting better air, water, and nutrient circulation.
- Improved Cutting Performance: The verticutting action produces a more upright grass sward. This makes subsequent mowing with a 6 or 10-blade cutting cartridge easier and results in a cleaner, more precise cut.
- Weed Management: It is an effective method for controlling weeds and coarse weed grasses that often lie flat within the turf, such as Yorkshire fog and Meadow grasses, lifting them up to be managed.
Important Usage Information
NOTE: It is crucial that the Powered VertiCutter blades are NOT allowed to come into contact with the soil, as this will cause damage to the lawn. The blades are designed to work within the grass canopy and thatch layer, with a maximum penetration depth of 0mm relative to the soil level. For lawns with an uneven or bumpy surface, it is highly recommended to flatten the area before using this cartridge to minimise the risk of damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main purpose of the Allett C-Range Verticutter cartridge?
The primary purpose is to prune the grass to encourage denser growth, control thatch by removing dead plant material, and lift flat-lying weeds. This results in a healthier, finer turf that is easier to cut cleanly.
How deep should the verticutter blades penetrate the ground?
The blades should not penetrate the soil at all. The maximum working depth is 0mm relative to the soil surface. The blades are designed to work within the grass and thatch layer. Allowing them to contact the soil can damage your lawn.
Can this cartridge damage my lawn?
If used incorrectly, yes. To prevent damage, ensure the blades do not make contact with the soil. If your lawn is bumpy or uneven, it is highly recommended that you flatten it before using the verticutter cartridge to avoid scalping high spots.
Is this cartridge suitable for a standard family lawn?
While primarily aimed at those wishing to develop very fine turfs, like bowling or golf greens, a dedicated home lawn enthusiast can certainly use it to significantly improve lawn density and health as part of a comprehensive maintenance programme.
Which mower is this cartridge compatible with?
