3.3 When are they carried out?

3.3.18 Verticutting

Which one of the following statements best describes the time of year that verticutting would typically be carried out?

Verticutting will usually be carried when the grass is growing actively, to allow it to recover rapidly from the action of the often closely spaced metal blades. This will therefore be mainly April to September, but not in drought conditions because the grass will be too stress to allow for rapid recovery.
