Thatch Removal

Thatch removal, also known as dethatching, is the process of removing the layer of dead grass, roots, and other organic material that accumulates between the soil surface and the green vegetation in a lawn. Thatch can prevent water, nutrients, and air from reaching the soil, leading to poor grass growth and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Thatch removal can be done using a thatch rake, a dethatching machine, or by core aeration, which also helps to reduce compaction. Regular thatch removal is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn, promoting strong root growth, and improving the lawn's overall appearance and resilience.
