Lawn Dethatching Services | The Grounds Guys

Thatch is one of the biggest threats to a homeowner’s lawn. Thatch is organic matter consisting of intermingled leaves, roots, and living and dead stems. Thatch buildup can cause lawn problems, including moss growth and create a breeding ground for diseases and harmful insects. But there’s a solution: lawn dethatching.

Lawn dethatching involves using a mechanical lawn dethatcher to remove a thick layer of excessive thatch. It’s a highly labor-intensive task that requires several passes in different directions. Performing this maintenance brings up enough thatch to help reduce the risk of lawn issues. But, this is one job that is best left to the professionals.

Fortunately, The Grounds Guys lawn dethatching service can save you from the hassle of renting a lawn dethatcher and the time that goes into dethatching properly. Our trained landscape professionals are ready to help your lawn stay healthy, neat, and attractive!
