Lawn Dethatching
Dethatching proves to be an effective technique for eliminating excess thatch, which is the layer of debris, dead grass, and organic matter situated between grass blades and the soil’s surface. By employing this method, Season 2 Season Yard Care ensures improved access for nutrients, water, and air to reach the soil. Our specialized equipment features multiple blades designed to cut through and remove thatch, promoting various benefits for your lawn.
These advantages include enhanced drainage, the facilitation of healthy root growth, optimization of fertilizer efficacy, an aesthetically pleasing lawn appearance, prevention of diseases, and the cultivation of a lush, vibrant green space. Additionally, dethatching plays a role in regulating soil temperature.
To achieve optimal results, we recommend dethatching when the lawn is actively growing and the soil is moist. In Northern Ontario, the ideal periods for dethatching are during the spring or fall, aligning with the phases of active growth and allowing for swift lawn recovery.
Recognizing signs that your lawn requires dethatching is crucial. Look for a thatch layer exceeding half an inch, a spongy or bouncy feel when walking on the lawn, footprints taking more than 30 minutes to disappear, and visible dry spots indicating thatch hindering water penetration.
