Barrie Lawn Dethatching services to keep your lawn happy and healthy

Controlling thatch is a very important, yet often overlooked, element of healthy lawn care. Often unseen, thatch is the layer of dead grass & roots as well as natural debris that builds up between the soil surface and the grass blades. As thatch grows it forms a thick mat, which can reduce the amount of water and air that reaches and enriches the soil. This type of grass and soil conditional can also lead to pest infestations and disease.

Dethatching can help prevent these problems.

Professionals recommend dethatching a lawn every one to two years, depending on how quickly your thatch develops. A general rule of thumb is that a thatch layer should not exceed a thickness of more than a half inch. You can test this yourself by working your fingers into the grass and through the thatch layer until you hit the hard soil. If your finger is buried in thatch beyond the first knuckle, you should consider dethatching. .

Although they may look like a lawn mower, a dethatching machine has knifelike blades that slice into the turf, with several criss-cross patterns, vertically. These cuts loosen the thatch, and the debris is raked up and removed.
