Dethatching

What is Power Raking?

Power raking uses a device called a dethatcher which has rotating combs that quickly remove the thatch buildup in a lawn.  After bringing up the dead thatch, the crew will use their lawn mowers to collect all the loosened debris.  This allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to get to the root system of the grass and allows sunlight to penetrate to the soil.

When should I consider Power Raking?

We highly recommend this service to be done in the Fall, near the end of the season.   But it can be performed late Spring, once it’s dry is a good time to power rake a lawn.  Early to Mid-Fall before heavy rain while ground is still dry and firm.  Power Raking combined with Aeration and fertilizing will produce a healthier, more beautiful lawn that will stand out.
