Lawn dethatching is the process of removing the thick layer of dead grass, roots, and organic debris—known as thatch—that builds up between your lawn’s soil and the green grass blades. While a small amount of thatch is normal and healthy, too much can suffocate your grass by blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching the root zone. When that layer becomes too thick, your lawn starts to struggle with weak growth, poor drainage, and increased risk of lawn disease.
Why Is Lawn Dethatching Important for Your Lawn?
Over time, especially in dry climates like Colorado and Southern Utah, thatch builds up due to compacted soil, dead grass, and insufficient breakdown of organic material. Excess thatch keeps water and fertilizer from soaking in properly, resulting in dry spots, weak roots, and thin grass coverage.
Dethatching helps restore your lawn’s health by:
- Improving water and nutrient absorption
- Encouraging stronger root growth
- Reducing the risk of fungus, insects, and disease
- Enhancing your lawn’s appearance and thickness
