FAQs
Do I need previous experience to use a turf cutter?
No. You don’t need professional landscaping experience to operate a turf cutting machine, although it’s important to familiarise yourself with the controls before starting. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions, wear suitable protective equipment and begin at a manageable pace. Setting the correct cutting depth will also help you remove turf cleanly and consistently.
What is the best time of year to use a turf cutter?
For most lawn renovation and landscaping projects, spring and early autumn are excellent times to use a petrol turf cutter. During these periods, the soil is generally moist enough for the blade to cut beneath the grass effectively without the ground being excessively wet. Avoid turf cutting when the soil is frozen, waterlogged or extremely dry and compacted, as these conditions can make the job harder and affect the quality of the cut.
Will a turf cutter remove grass and weeds?
A lawn turf cutter removes strips of existing grass together with a shallow layer of soil, so it can also take away many weeds growing within the turf. However, it shouldn’t be regarded as a complete weed-control solution. Deep-rooted and perennial weeds may have roots remaining below the machine’s cutting depth and could grow back. These may require additional treatment or careful manual removal before you prepare the ground for new turf, planting or landscaping.
Why does Garden Machinery Direct only sell petrol turf cutters?
Petrol turf cutters combine strong cutting performance with excellent freedom of movement, making them particularly well suited to demanding lawn and landscaping work. Unlike corded electric machinery, a petrol turf cutting machine isn’t restricted by access to a power supply or trailing cables. The additional power also makes petrol models a practical choice when removing established turf or working across larger areas and more challenging ground.
How do I maintain a petrol turf cutter?
Clean away grass and soil after each use, especially around the blade and cutting mechanism. Regularly check the blade for wear, lubricate moving parts as recommended, and follow the manufacturer’s engine maintenance schedule. Periodic servicing will also help keep your petrol turf cutter performing reliably.
