Dethatching: Let Your Lawn Breathe and Thrive

Thatch is a natural layer of dead grass and roots that forms between the soil and your living grass. A small amount is normal, but when it builds up over time, it can prevent water, nutrients, and air from reaching the root zone. This can lead to a weak, patchy, or disease-prone lawn. Dethatching is only needed when this buildup becomes excessive, and we assess each lawn before recommending it. After dethatching, we bag the debris and place it by the curb for pickup, leaving your yard clean and ready for recovery.

How We Dethatch Your Lawn

Our dethatching process is designed to remove excess thatch from your lawn. We use specialized commercial-grade dethatching equipment that lifts and clears the thatch layer efficiently and evenly across your lawn. After dethatching, we collect the debris and recommend follow-up services like overseeding or fertilization to help your lawn recover and thrive. The result? Better air, water, and nutrient flow — and a noticeably greener, thicker lawn.
