Dethatching is Part of Our Spring Clean Up Dethatching can be very dusty work, depending on the Spring weather. Thatch is the dead grass and dead grass clippings left behind from winter. During the warm weather it is healthy for a lawn to have about a 1/2" layer of grass clippings or thatch beneath the surface for natural fertilization and a good place for worms etc. beneficial to your lawn. Grass Plants have a life span of 3 - 4 yrs. before dying off. Most die during the harsh winter.
Our dethatching process also includes mowing and bagging the thatch. Would you believe some of our competitors dethatch and DO NOT BAG? What sense does that make? We add it for FREE to our Spring Clean Ups. Once again weed seeds are sucked up and deposited in the bags along with your dead grass bits. This gives your lawn that needed boost to grow fast in the critical days of Spring. Why is it so important? Because lawn diseases and insects can hide in the thatch, waiting for that chance to ruin your lawn.
