Dethatching Services
What is dethatching and what does it do ?
-
It is the technique of removing thick thatch on a lawn.
-
Thatch is a layer of natural materials, such as dead grass, leaves, and other debris that hasn't died. This blocks the soil from getting air, water and nutrients.
-
Dethatching helps grass roots grow healthy, stronger and more beautiful.
When to dethatch lawn ?
-
Cool Season Grasses: (Kentucky bluegrass, fescue)
- Should be dethatched once a year
- Best season for this type of grasses is early spring, which is around mid-March to early April.
- It is during this period that grass is actively growing, and the soil is moist and cool. This makes it easier to remove the thatch without damaging the grass.
-
Warm Season Grasses: (Bermuda grass, zoysia)
- Best season for these types of grasses is in late spring through early summer, after the second mowing.
- This is when the grass is growing rapidly.
