A healthy lawn starts below the surface! π±
Today our crew is tackling a heavy dethatching project, and these pictures show exactly how much dead grass and organic material can build up between the soil and healthy turf.
Too much thatch can prevent water, nutrients, oxygen, and fertilizer from reaching the root system where theyβre needed most. Dethatching helps remove that buildup and gives your lawn room to breathe, recover, and grow stronger.

You might be surprised how much material is hiding underneath your lawn!
If your yard feels spongy, looks thin, or just isnβt responding like it should, dethatching may be exactly what it needs.
π Fall is a great time to get your lawn back on track.
