Remove the thatch layer that blocks water and nutrients

Dethatching & Power Raking

Thatch is the layer of dead and living stems and roots between the green blades and the soil. A thin layer is normal, but when it gets thicker than about half an inch, water and fertilizer struggle to reach the roots and insects and disease find a home.

Zoysia and bermuda build thatch faster than fescue, so lawns of those types around Nashville often benefit from dethatching. We measure thatch first and only recommend it when it is really needed.
