Dethatching &
Power Raking
Dead leaves, stems and grass roots intertwine and collect near the soil surface of the lawn; this is called thatch. When thatch builds up it can limit the amount of water, air and fertilizer that your lawn actually receives. Consequently, it is important to remove the thatch, or dethatch, by the process of power raking.
Power raking removes the dense layer of thatch that forms between the soil and the base of the grass. Dethatching by power raking allows water, nitrogen and nutrients to reach the lawn roots as well as protects your lawn against drought and winter kill. Tommy Pollina Landscape recommends that dethatching should be done during your Spring Clean Up – that’s the best time for us to do power raking.
