What is dethatching?
Dethatching is the process of reducing the layer of thatch on your lawn. Thatch is a build up of matted organic material between the blades of grass and the surface of the soil that hasnt decomposed. A small amount of thatch helps keep your lawn cool during the hot summer months but if the layer gets too thick more than inch – it prevents your lawn from growing by restricting water, nutrients, and air. To dethatch an aggressive raking is needed.
