Dethatching & Aeration

Dethatching and aeration are two common landscaping practices that can help to promote a healthy and vibrant lawn.

​

Dethatching involves removing the layer of dead grass and other organic material that can build up on the surface of a lawn over time. This layer, also known as thatch, can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the soil, which can lead to a weakened or unhealthy lawn. Dethatching is typically performed using a special machine that rakes up the thatch and removes it from the lawn.

​

Aeration, on the other hand, involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the roots of the grass. This process can help to relieve soil compaction, which can occur over time due to heavy foot traffic or other factors. Aeration is typically performed using a specialized machine that removes small plugs of soil from the lawn.

​

Both dethatching and aeration can be beneficial for promoting a healthy and vibrant lawn. These services can be performed separately or together, depending on the needs of your lawn. A professional landscaper can assess the condition of your lawn and recommend the appropriate course of action.

Overall, dethatching and aeration can help to improve the health and appearance of your lawn, promoting strong and vigorous growth throughout the growing season.
