Post-dethatching results in a cleaner, healthier lawn with improved access to nutrients and water.

The process of dethatching typically takes a professional between one to three hours, depending on the size and condition of the lawn. The procedure begins with assessing the lawn's thatch buildup, followed by using a dethatching rake or machine to carefully remove the layer. After dethatching, overseeding and fertilization may be recommended to promote vigorous new growth. Proper timing—usually during active growing seasons—ensures optimal results and minimal stress to the grass.

Hiring a professional for dethatching offers several advantages. Experts have the experience and equipment to perform the task efficiently and effectively, reducing the risk of damaging the lawn. They can also identify underlying issues that may contribute to excessive thatch, such as soil compaction or improper watering. Professional services often include recommendations for ongoing lawn care to maintain optimal health after dethatching.
