Achieve Your Dream Lawn

Here at Allett, we are more than just about mowing. To achieve the perfectly health green striped lawn, you need to do other tasks. We designed a cartridge system to allow you to use just one machine for many lawn tasks, saving you thousands of dollars and room in your shed! We also wanted a lawn care system that was chemical free, environmentally friendly and helped you get rid of thatch, without the manual hard work.

Achieving a beautifully healthy striped lawn is more than about just mowing. Allett MD Austin Jarrett talks you through the cartridge options

Cartridge

Scarifier

This cartridge is a spring rake cartridge that is gentle and can be used all throughout the mowing season. It is arguably our most popular cartridge and is designed to remove thatch, surface debris and dead moss, as well as lifting flat lying grasses. It is also great for picking up leaves, pine needles, and acorns. This cartridge rips up all the dead material without damaging your grass on the surface. We recommend using it once every 2-4 weeks to keep on top of thatch levels.

Cartridge

Dethatcher

This is a very aggressive cartridge that penetrates the surface to a maximum of 6mm. The tines are thicker and wider spaced than the scarifier cartridge. This cartridge is used on lawns that are in need of more attention and removes the deepest layers of thatch. This cartridge works by penetrating the soil’s surface in order to pick up and remove layers of thatch, such as dead grass and leaves, plant stems and weed growth. Lawns grow healthier, thicker and more luscious once this has been removed as it its less susceptible to disease. Lawns that are more susceptible to disease encourage moss growth which should be avoided. This cartridge would be used once or twice a season on seriously thatch lawns- it's not a cartridge you would use often as you would probably need to top dress your lawn after.

Cartridge

Verticut

The Verticut cartridge is a popular cartridge in the Allett range.Thin and closely spaced blades effectively lift lateral growth and remove moss which helps encourage new growth. The blades of the Verticut cartridge help pick up flat lying grasses that your cylinder would otherwise miss. Verticutting can be carried out on a more frequent basis, and is the perfect way to keep on top of your thatch level in between your yearly scarification. A small amount of thatch can be healthy for your lawn, but anything over half an inch needs to be removed, as it prevents the healthy growth process.

Cartridge

10 Blade

This cartridge is available as an optional extra and upgrade to the 6 blade cartridge. It has an extra 4 blades than the 6 blade cartridge and offers a much finer cut. The 10 blade cutting cylinder mows as low as 6mm for a golf green finish-perfect for luxury lawns. You wouldn't use this cartridge on longer grass as it wouldn't cope as well as the 6 blade with the blades closer together- it is for greens and low cut lawns only below 20mm.

Cartridge

Brush

The lawn brush cartridge is used for collecting light debris, putting a stripe in a dry lawn without mowing and incorporating a light top dressing. The brush is perfect for collecting ‘worm casts‘ that are left by earthworms that live in the root zone of the soil. This accessory effectively disperses and removes these worm casts and other debris such as fallen leaves, twigs, and grass clippings; depositing it into the grass box. It’s also great for removing dew from the lawn that can cause fungal diseases. Make sure to set the brush height correctly in relation to the height of your lawn, so that the optimal amount of debris is picked up. Ideally, the brush should sit approximately half an inch below the top of the grass. This should be carried out as regularly as possible to reduce the amount of debris spoiling your lawn. The Lawn Brush is useful for covering renovating seed material or to work in top dressing. Can be used all throughout the mowing season.

Cartridge

Aerator

The ‘non-driven’ Aerator cartridge permeates the soil with small holes which allows air, water and nutrients to pass through more easily to the grass roots. This is beneficial as this helps the roots grow more deeply, meaning a healthier, thicker and more luscious lawn. The Aerator also removes soil compaction and helps water move into the soil profile. Soil that is compacted has too many solid particles, which can prevent the soil from absorbing what it needs to flourish. Aerating your lawn stops the roots from being starved as there is nothing blocking that process. If your lawn dries out easily then it could be crying out for aeration. *Top Tip* - Put some weight into the grassbox to help your aerator penetrate deeper. This cartridge is not meant to be an aggressive aerator more a maintenance tool.
