What to Expect from Our Lawn Dethatching

  • Thorough Lawn Assessment

    Our team will assess the condition of your lawn, the amount of thatch, and the overall health of your grass to determine whether dethatching is necessary.

  • Preparation

    We will clear any debris, such as leaves and sticks, from the lawn to ensure the dethatching equipment can operate smoothly.

  • Dethatching

    Using professional-grade dethatching equipment, we will remove the excess thatch layer. Depending on the severity of the buildup, we may use a vertical mower, power rake, or dethatching rake to break up and remove the thatch.

  • Cleanup

    Once the dethatching process is complete, we will clean up the debris, leaving your lawn looking neat and refreshed.

  • Post-Dethatching Care

    After dethatching, we may recommend overseeding, fertilization, or aeration to further promote healthy grass growth and ensure your lawn recovers quickly.

    Lawn Dethatching FAQs

    At The Grounds Guys, we strive to provide knowledgeable and professional service and want to ensure your questions are answered.

    • Lawn dethatching is crucial for maintaining a healthy, strong, and vibrant lawn. A thick thatch layer acts as a barrier, preventing water from soaking into the soil. By dethatching, water can penetrate the soil more effectively, ensuring your lawn stays hydrated, even during dry periods. Thatch also traps essential nutrients, which can hinder your grass from receiving the nourishment it needs. Removing the thatch allows your lawn to absorb fertilizers and soil amendments, promoting healthier growth. Additionally, dethatching improves airflow to the grass roots, encouraging deeper and stronger root systems. It also helps prevent diseases and pests, as a thick thatch layer provides an ideal environment for mold, fungi, and insects. Finally, dethatching enhances the overall appearance of your lawn, promoting even grass growth and reducing the risk of brown patches or unsightly areas caused by thick thatch.

    • The simplest test is to pull back a small patch of grass. If the spongy, brown layer of material between the soil and the green blades is thicker than 1/2 inch, it’s time to dethatch. Other signs include water pooling or running off instead of soaking in and a bouncy feel when walking on the turf.

    • For the cool-season grasses common in the Helena area, the best time is typically in the early fall (September) or late spring (late April/early May). We schedule this during periods of active growth so the lawn can quickly recover from the stress of thatch removal and fill in any bare spots.

    • Yes, absolutely. Dethatching creates the perfect environment for new grass seed by exposing the soil. Overseeding immediately after dethatching is highly recommended to improve grass thickness, fill bare patches, and introduce better-quality, disease-resistant turf.
