Lawn dethatching is the process of removing the layer of thatch that can build up between the soil surface and the green grass blades. Thatch is composed of dead grass, roots, and other organic material that accumulates over time. While a small amount of thatch can be beneficial, providing insulation and moisture retention, too much thatch can prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil, leading to poor lawn health. Dethatching can be done using a thatch rake, a power rake, or a dethatching machine, which pull up and remove the thatch from the lawn. Regular dethatching is important for maintaining a healthy lawn, improving its ability to absorb water and nutrients, and preventing diseases and pests associated with excessive thatch buildup.
