Dethatching is a lawn maintenance process that removes the layer of thatch, a buildup of dead grass, roots, and other organic matter between the soil and grass blades. This layer can hinder water, nutrients, and air from reaching the soil, leading to weak grass growth and increased disease susceptibility. Proper timing of dethatching enhances grass health and promotes vigorous growth.

Statistics indicate that lawns with thatch layers exceeding half an inch experience reduced water infiltration by up to 50%. Regular dethatching every few years can improve nutrient absorption and reduce pest problems. The best time for dethatching varies based on grass type and local climate, but generally, late spring and early fall are optimal periods for most turfgrass varieties.
