Removing thatch allows your grass to breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow stronger, healthier, and more beautiful.
What is Lawn Dethatching?
Thatch is the layer of dead grass, roots, and organic material that accumulates between the soil and living grass. While a thin layer can actually protect your lawn, too much thatch can block water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots.
Dethatching removes this buildup, revitalizing your lawn and preparing it for fertilization, over seeding, or seasonal growth. Think of dethatching as giving your lawn a thorough cleaning—it allows everything it needs to thrive to reach the roots where it matters most.
Signs Your Lawn Needs Dethatching
Not sure if your lawn needs dethatching? Here are some telltale signs:
- Thatch layer exceeds ½ inch in thickness
- Lawn feels spongy when walking on it
- Grass growth is slow or patchy despite proper care
- Water or fertilizer does not soak in properly
- Presence of pests or fungal growth
If your lawn shows any of these signs, dethatching can dramatically improve its health and appearance.
