People often refer to a turf cutter tool as a turf lifter or turf stripper because of the long grassy strips that are left behind. When it comes to how to use a turf cutter, there are two options of removing the grass. A manual process of by hand, this can include a lot of hard work with a shovel or we have turf cutter machine hire to get the perfect grass removal landscaping finish.

A turf cutter is an automotive turf removal machine that cuts into layers of grass and soil to expose the ground underneath, leaving long strips of grass and a small layer of soil held together by the roots of the grass. The turf left behind is also referred to as sod. 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 cut them into lengths. Roll the turf up into handy pieces and either dispose of them or re-lay elsewhere if you choose.

For the best outcome using a turf cutter, make sure to soften the turf by watering it in advance. You can quickly assess to see if it is soft enough by inserting your thumb to the first knuckle into the ground and if able, then the soil is ready to work with. Cutting into hard and dry ground can slow the process down and quite possibly cause damage to the turf cutter machine. Turf cutters use a thin blade that slides along under the grass to separate it from the soil beneath, the turf cutter machine cuts through leaving at times some larger roots of the weeds behind. You can remove the top layer of grass and weed but you may have some roots left over if the landscaping area has not been properly maintained. If the turf cutter is not cutting deep enough, simply adjust the depth of the blade.
