Lawn Dethatching & Spring Yard Clean Up

When a layer of thatch (dead grass and other debris) builds up, especially after a cold dormant season can impede turf growth each spring. This layer of thatch can also restrict the flow of oxygen, fertilizer and nutrients. So it is imperative to remove this thatch through the process of dethatching, also referred to as power raking, to open up your grass in the spring.

Our procedure for lawn dethatching involves equipping our commercial-grade mowers with a tine rake on the front of the machine. We begin the process by operating machines throughout all accessible areas of your lawn with the tines engaged, this scrapes up the soil surface and pulls all dead debris to the top of the grass. Next, we disengage the tine rake and turn on the mower blades to begin using the commercial-grade mower’s bagging system to pick up all the grass and debris, followed by hauling the debris off-site.
