Thatch is the layer of living and dead stems, roots, stolons, and rhizomes between the green blades of grass and the soil surface. The dethatching process is done with a tine attachment on the lawn mower that looses up that thatch layer. Then with either a bagger or sweeper the lawn clipping are picked up and taking away.
Benefits of Dethatching:
- Will reduce the water evaporation in turn will mean less water of the lawn in summer time.
- Provides better air flow that will reduce the chances of fungal growth and insect infestation.
- Helps in the resists of weed germination
- Protects the lawn from frost damage
