Professional Dethatching to Revitalize Your Lawn
Removing thatch improves air, water, and nutrient penetration to the grassroots, leading to a healthier, more resilient lawn.
A lawn may require dethatching if it shows signs like water runoff, spongy texture, or persistent moss growth.
Methods include mechanical dethatching with specialized rakes or machines, and in some cases, manual removal for smaller areas.
Late fall or early winter is recommended for many grass types, allowing lawns to recover before the growing season.
