Lawn dethatching work generally involves removing the layer of thatch, which is composed of dead grass, roots, and other organic matter that accumulates between the soil surface and the living grass. The process typically includes using specialized dethatching tools or machines to loosen and extract this layer to improve air, water, and nutrient penetration to the grass roots. When evaluating requests for dethatching, important details include the size of the lawn, the thickness of the thatch layer, the type of grass, and any specific issues such as poor drainage or uneven growth, which can influence the scope and equipment needed for the task.
