Expert Lawn Dethatching Service in College Station

Clear Away Thatch and Let Your Grass Thrive

Give your lawn the attention it deserves with professional dethatching services from The Grounds Guys of College Station. Thatch is the layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that builds up between your soil and the green grass you see on the surface. While a small amount of thatch can be beneficial, too much of it suffocates your lawn—blocking air, water, and nutrients from reaching the soil. At The Grounds Guys of College Station, we offer tailored lawn dethatching solutions to help restore your turf’s health, improve water penetration, and encourage strong, vibrant grass growth. If your lawn is spongy, patchy, or struggling despite your best efforts, thatch may be the culprit. Let us help you revive it with expert care. Revive your lawn with expert dethatching—schedule your service with The Grounds Guys of College Station today!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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

    • Common signs include a spongy feeling underfoot, poor water absorption, patchy or yellowing grass, increased pest activity, and a visible thatch layer over ½ inch thick. Our team can assess your lawn to determine if dethatching is needed.

    • For warm-season grasses like Bermuda and St. Augustine, the best time is late spring to early summer—when the grass is actively growing and can quickly recover.

    • After dethatching, we recommend follow-up services like overseeding, aeration, and fertilizing to boost your lawn’s recovery and maximize growth.

    • Dethatching addresses these issues by clearing out the dense layer of debris, allowing your lawn to breathe and absorb what it needs to stay green and strong.

    • Restores oxygen flow to soil and roots
    • Promotes deeper root growth, leading to a more drought-resistant lawn
    • Prepares your lawn for overseeding, aeration, and fertilization
    • Improves the effectiveness of other lawn care treatments
    • By incorporating dethatching into your regular lawn maintenance routine—especially for warm-season grasses common in College Station—you can prevent long-term damage and support a healthier, more resilient yard. Don’t let hidden thatch choke your lawn—schedule a professional dethatching service with The Grounds Guys of College Station today!

  • Thatch is a common issue in College Station, where warm-weather grasses like St. Augustine and Bermuda are prevalent. These grasses produce a lot of organic matter, which, if not broken down properly, leads to thatch accumulation. Here are a few signs that your lawn may benefit from dethatching:

    • Your lawn feels spongy underfoot
    • Water runs off the surface rather than soaking in
    • Grass appears patchy, dry, or yellow
    • You notice increased lawn disease or pests
    • The thatch layer is more than ½ inch thick (you can test this by removing a small plug of turf)
    If you’re unsure, our team can assess your lawn and determine whether dethatching is the best next step.

  • Timing is everything when it comes to dethatching. For most warm-season grasses in the College Station area, the ideal time to dethatch is during late spring to early summer when grass is actively growing. This gives your lawn the best chance to recover quickly and fill in any thin spots. Our team will recommend the most appropriate timing based on your grass type and local climate conditions.
