What is Lawn Dethatching?

Thatch is a layer of dead grass, roots, and organic debris that accumulates between the soil and grass blades. While a thin layer of thatch can protect your lawn, too much can:

  1. Block water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots.
  2. Create a breeding ground for pests and diseases.
  3. Prevent healthy grass growth.
  4. Dethatching is the process of removing this excess layer to improve your lawn’s health and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lawn dethatching is the process of removing the layer of dead grass, roots, and debris (thatch) that builds up between the soil and living grass. This allows for better airflow, water penetration, and nutrient absorption.

Over time, excessive thatch can block water and nutrients from reaching the roots, leading to unhealthy grass. Dethatching helps rejuvenate your lawn by promoting stronger growth and improving overall lawn health.

Signs your lawn may need dethatching include

  • Grass feels spongy or springy when walked on
  • Water pools on the surface instead of soaking in
  • Weak, thinning, or patchy grass growth
  • Lawn disease or pest infestations
The best time for dethatching is early spring or early fall when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. Avoid dethatching during extreme heat or drought conditions.
Most lawns in Colorado benefit from dethatching once every 1-3 years, depending on grass type and thatch buildup. Heavy thatch may require more frequent maintenance.
No. Dethatching removes the dense layer of dead grass and debris, while aeration creates small holes in the soil to relieve compaction and improve root growth. Both services work together to promote a healthy lawn.
If done correctly, dethatching improves lawn health. However, excessive dethatching or doing it at the wrong time can stress the grass. Our professionals ensure the right technique is used to minimize damage.
Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and perennial ryegrass (common in Colorado) benefit from dethatching. Warm-season grasses may need a different approach.
