Expert Lawn Dethatching Service in St. John

A healthy lawn starts from the ground up, and over time, a layer of thatch—dead grass, roots, and debris—can accumulate between your soil and healthy grass. While a small amount of thatch is normal and beneficial, excessive buildup can suffocate your lawn, prevent water absorption, and hinder essential nutrient flow. That’s where professional dethatching services come in. At The Grounds Guys of St Johns, FL, we provide expert lawn dethatching to help your yard thrive, ensuring it stays lush, vibrant, and healthy throughout the year. Revitalize your lawn with professional dethatching—schedule your lawn dethatching service with The Grounds Guys today!

Signs Your Lawn Needs Dethatching

  • From Spongy Texture to Poor Growth and More

    Not sure if your lawn is suffering from excessive thatch? Here are some common signs that indicate it’s time for professional dethatching:

  • Spongy Lawn Texture – If your lawn feels overly soft and bouncy when you walk on it, it may have too much thatch.
  • Water Runoff Issues – If water pools on your lawn instead of absorbing into the soil, thick thatch may be blocking it.
  • Weak or Thinning Grass – A lack of nutrients caused by excessive thatch can result in weak, discolored, or dying grass.
  • Increased Pests and Diseases – A thick thatch layer can create a damp environment that attracts pests and encourages fungal diseases.
  • Poor Grass Growth – If your lawn struggles to grow despite regular watering and fertilizing, thatch could be the culprit.

    • At The Grounds Guys, we use specialized dethatching equipment to gently and effectively remove excess thatch without damaging your lawn. Here’s what you can expect from our service:

      • Lawn Inspection – We assess your lawn’s thatch level to determine if dethatching is necessary and identify any other lawn care concerns.
      • Precision Dethatching – Using professional-grade equipment, we carefully remove the excess thatch while ensuring the healthy portions remain intact.
      • Debris Cleanup – Once dethatching is complete, we clear away the removed thatch and debris to keep your yard clean and tidy.
      • Lawn Recovery Support – After dethatching, we recommend follow-up care, such as aeration, overseeding, or fertilization, to help your lawn recover quickly and grow even stronger.

    • Timing is crucial when it comes to dethatching. The best time for dethatching depends on your grass type:

      • Cool-Season Grasses (Fescue, Bluegrass, Ryegrass) – Early spring or early fall, when the grass is actively growing and recovering quickly.
      • Warm-Season Grasses (Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, Buffalo) – Late spring to early summer, when warm-season grasses enter their peak growing period.
