Dethatching

A thick layer of thatch—a buildup of dead grass, roots, and organic material—can suffocate a lawn, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil. Dethatching removes this barrier, allowing the grass to breathe and absorb what it needs to thrive. This process is particularly important in cases where excessive thatch has developed, creating an environment where pests and diseases can flourish. 

Whether the lawn requires a light power raking or a more aggressive dethatching treatment, removing the excess material improves overall turf health and encourages stronger growth. By clearing out the thatch layer, grass can grow deeper roots, making it more resistant to drought and wear. 

When thatch is left unmanaged, it creates a barrier that prevents fertilizers and water from penetrating the soil, leading to wasted resources and poor lawn performance. Dethatching also improves seed-to-soil contact for overseeding, increasing the success of new grass establishment. A properly dethatched lawn recovers faster from stress and maintains a rich, green appearance with minimal intervention. Give your lawn the fresh start it needs by scheduling a dethatching service.
