Professional Lawn, Landscape & Snow Services in Minnesota
Dethatching is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn by removing built-up thatch, allowing moisture, sunlight, and fertilizers to better reach the soil. Thatch build-up, consisting of dead grass stems, roots, and other debris, forms a barrier above the soil that hinders nutrient absorption and can harbor insects and diseases.
To determine if your lawn needs dethatching, simply use your fingers to separate the grass blades and observe the amount of dead grass accumulated above the soil. If there's a noticeable buildup of thatch and the soil is barely visible, it's time for dethatching.
We use a mower-mounted tine rake dethatcher, which is highly effective in removing thatch. The dethatcher tines pick and pull out thatch while the mower simultaneously collects the debris into its bagger. Additionally, the engaged mower blades cut and bag the lawn, providing a comprehensive service. We recommend dethatching annually in the spring, especially for thicker lawns, as it promotes healthy growth and prevents thatch buildup.
