Lawn Dethatcher

A lawn dethatcher, also known as a power rake, is a tool used to remove thatch, a layer of dead grass, roots, and organic material that accumulates on the soil surface, between the grass and the soil. Dethatchers use rotating tines or blades to pull up and remove this layer, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively. Lawn dethatchers are essential for maintaining a healthy lawn by preventing thatch buildup, which can suffocate grass and lead to poor growth. Regular dethatching promotes thicker, greener lawns and improves the effectiveness of fertilization and watering.
