A beautiful lawn is not just about mowing and watering. There are deeper layers of care that go into keeping grass lush, green, and thriving. Two of the most important but often overlooked parts of lawn care are thatching and dethatching. At Evergreen Lawn Aeration and Thatching, we focus on giving your lawn the attention it needs so it can stay healthy all year round.
Why Dethatching is Important
Dethatching is the process of removing the excess thatch from your lawn. By taking out the thick layer, you allow your grass to breathe better and absorb the nutrients it needs. This process is especially important in the spring or early fall when the grass is actively growing.
Removing excess thatch also helps prevent water from pooling on the surface and improves the overall drainage of your yard. It allows your lawn to absorb fertilizer more effectively and creates an environment where roots can grow deeper and stronger.
How to Tell if Your Lawn Needs Dethatching
Not every lawn needs dethatching every year. Here are a few simple signs that your lawn may be overdue:
● The grass feels spongy when you walk on it
● You notice water pooling in certain areas after rain
● Your lawn is thinning out and turning brown in spots
● The thatch layer is more than half an inch thick when you check it with a spade
If you see any of these signs, it may be time to call a lawn care professional to inspect and treat your yard.
