Transform Your Lawn with Professional Verti-Mowing in Perth

Ever wondered why your lawn feels spongy underfoot, no matter how often you mow? Or why does it struggle to stay green even with regular watering? The answer might be thatch — and the solution is professional verti-mowing.

At HomeGreens, we specialise in giving lawns across Perth’s northern suburbs a fresh start. Verti-mowing is a great way to help rejuvenate your lawn and give it a healthy and fresh look. Any couch lawn vertimowed is a great advantage as the root system runs deep into the soil and can be dethatched right to the ground and then fertilised. Counting on the weather, with warm weather, the lawn should take no more than two to three weeks to come back to a lush green lawn. With our expert fertilisation and aftercare, your grass can recover to lush and green in just 2–3 weeks.


What is Verti-Mowing and Why Does Your Lawn Need It?

Verti-mowing (also known as lawn dethatching) is a specialised process that removes the thick layer of built-up organic matter — known as thatch — sitting between your soil and grass blades.

While a small amount of thatch protects roots, too much of it suffocates your lawn. It blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil, causing grass to weaken and weeds to thrive.

That’s where verti-mowing comes in. Using specialised vertical blades, we cut into the thatch, lift it out, and allow your lawn to breathe again. The result? A rejuvenated lawn that looks greener, grows stronger, and resists pests and diseases.

Benefits of Professional Verti-Mowing

When carried out by experts, verti-mowing delivers benefits far beyond surface-level appearance:

  • Healthier root systems:

    Stronger, deeper roots that can handle Perth’s hot summers

  • Improved nutrient uptake:

    Fertilisers and water reach the soil where they’re most effective.

  • Enhanced lawn growth:

    Grass grows thicker and denser, crowding out weeds naturally.

  • Reduced costs:

    A healthier lawn means less need for chemicals, water, and constant repair.

  • Time saved:

    No more fighting a losing battle with patchy, spongy lawns.

This local knowledge ensures you don’t just get a cut lawn — you get a lawn that thrives.

Why DIY Verti-Mowing Can Go Wrong

Many homeowners are tempted to rent a verti-mower and try dethatching themselves. While that might sound like a quick fix, it can actually do more harm than good.

1. Heat stress during summer.

2.Thatch build-up from fast-growing grasses like couch and buffalo.

3. Water restrictions make healthy root systems essential.

Our verti-mowing service is tailored for these local challenges. By scheduling it at the right time of year (usually spring or early summer), we set your lawn up to thrive for the months ahead.

Why Choose HomeGreens?

It’s easy to confuse verti-mowing with other treatments. Here’s the difference:

1. Verti-Mowing:
Slices and removes thatch, stimulating fresh grass growth

2. Scarifying:
Heavier dethatching for severe build-up.

3. Aeration: Punches small holes into the soil to improve oxygen and water flow.

4. Top-Dressing: Adding soil/sand to improve soil structure and even out lawns.

For many Perth homeowners, combining verti-mowing with aeration and fertilising gives the best long-term results.
