Uses a vertislicer to dig up the grass bed, then puts down of layer of grass seed that will grow like no tommorrow!
What is a vertislicer? It has a vertical set of blades (up and down) that are designed to mutilate your lawn. Yes, to you ladies, it's like those chemicals they put on your face to make you peel, and hopefully you look better after the process is said and done. Except in this case, you are practically destroying the lawn, to be able to plant additional seed, and the whole lawn eventually comes up looking like new.
This unit will create plugs of dirt and sod. As a tow behind, it can be pulled by a Z mower. The containers shown are for water; this is a for adding weight as needed. Aerating a lawn not only help oxygen get into the soil, but it loosens the soil allowing the roots easier growth, which helps worms to do their thing.
How long does it take to edge a 3' circle around a tree? 10-20 minutes? What if you could do this in 3 minutes? The difference is that significant. We have many landscapers who own these units, and the time they save is unimaginable.
It has a "trailing" blade arm, which means the blade is allowed motion to go up and down. If you come upon a root or rock, the blade will just flow over it, instead of trying to cut it. As the unit progresses, it leaves behind a strip of sod that can easily be picked up and discarded.
