Lawn Dethatching Service

Lawn dethatching in the Spring helps pull up matted down grass clippings, twigs and debris that can suffocate your lawn preventing water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. Dethatching or power raking is best done in early Spring after the first short mow of the season. It is recommended to clean up and remove all the thatch and then apply granular organic fertilizer so the grass can grow back greener and stronger. Granular organic fertilizer activates nature's microbes that are necessary for breaking down thatch and converting it into nutrients so your lawn can get a more consistent feeding during the growing season. An indication for the need of organic fertilizer is when your grass only responds to synthetic fertilizers for a couple weeks and then quickly turns dull as nutrients drop off and become unavailable.
