Turf Cutting

What is a sod cutter or turf cutter?

A sod cutter is also commonly referred to in Australia as a ‘turf cutter / lawn cutter’ or ‘turf remover / lawn remover”. A turf cutter is a self-propelled turf removal machine that cuts into layers of grass and soil to reveal the ground underneath. You will be left with long strips of grass and a small layer of soil held together by the roots. This is commonly referred to as the ‘sod’ or ‘turf’.

How do you remove grass?

Once you have used the turf cutter on the grass at the desired depth, you will be left with long carpet-like strips of grass. You can simply roll them up into manageable pieces and carry them away to either dispose of or re-lay elsewhere if you choose.

Can you replant turf left over from a turf cutter?

Yes, you can use a turf cutter to remove the sod/turf layer from your lawn and replant it again. You will need to make sure your turf cutter is set to the right depth to ensure its collecting enough of the root system and not leaving half the roots behind. If the turf cutter is not cutting deep enough, just adjust the depth and continue. You will need to keep the ground moist and for best results, you will need to prepare your ground properly before re-laying your turf.
