Expert Lawn Dethatching in Evansville

Most lawns only need dethatching every 1–3 years, depending on grass type, soil conditions, and lawn maintenance practices. If you notice a thatch layer thicker than ½ inch or see signs of poor drainage and thinning grass, it's time to consider dethatching.

When done properly and at the right time of year, dethatching does not damage your lawn — it helps it thrive. Our team uses professional equipment and techniques to remove excess thatch while preserving healthy grass. Some temporary browning is normal, but your lawn will quickly bounce back stronger.

Not sure whether your lawn could benefit from dethatching? Here are a few signs to look out for:

• Spongy or springy feel when you walk on it
• Brown patches or thinning grass despite watering
• Water pooling after rain or irrigation
• Fertilizer runoff or ineffective results
• Visible layer of brown, tangled material at the soil line

If your lawn exhibits any of these symptoms, our team can assess the thatch level and recommend the right approach to restore lawn health. Choosing professional dethatching services offers numerous advantages over DIY methods. At The Grounds Guys of Evansville, we use commercial-grade dethatching equipment and apply years of expertise to ensure your lawn is treated with care.

Timing is key when it comes to lawn dethatching. The best time to dethatch in Evansville is during the active growing season — typically early spring or early fall — when your grass can recover quickly. Cool-season grasses benefit most from fall dethatching, while warm-season grasses respond well in spring or early summer.

Our team will evaluate your specific turf type, thatch thickness, and lawn health to determine the ideal dethatching schedule for your property.

For best results, many of our clients choose to combine dethatching with lawn aeration. Aeration involves perforating the soil to further improve airflow and nutrient absorption, making it an excellent companion service. We also offer tailored lawn fertilization plans, overseeding, and weed control to help your lawn fully recover and thrive after dethatching.
