De-Thatching: If your lawn has moss in it. Or it’s dull, yellowing and lifeless. Your solution is to de-thatch, aerate and overseed. Thatch is a layer of dead stems, roots and clippings between the soil’s surface and the green vegetation. Thatch accumulation should not exceed 1/2 inch. Excess thatch and moss blocks out air, light and water from reaching root zones. Thatch and moss also makes an excellent breeding ground for harmful insects and disease organisms.

A process called de-thatching provides the best solution for most problems. Removing moss and excess thatch build up while also preparing the soil for new grass seed. Our machines slice through the turf, lifting thatch debris to the surface for clean up and removal. Once this build up is eliminated, air, water and nutrients can flow freely to the roots rejuvenating a once lifeless lawn. Then it’s time to aerate, overseed, topdress and water.
