Remove Thatch, Revive Your Lawn

A healthy lawn starts below the surface. Over time, dead grass, roots, and other organic matter can build up between your soil and growing grass—this layer is known as thatch. While a small amount of thatch is normal, too much can suffocate your lawn. That’s why Turf & Tree Worx offers professional lawn dethatching services in West Bend, WI, to help your turf breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow strong.

What Is Thatch and Why Is It a Problem?

Thatch is the layer of decomposing plant material that forms between your lawn’s green blades and the soil. When this layer grows too thick (more than ½ inch), it prevents water, air, and nutrients from penetrating the soil and reaching the root zone.

Excess thatch can lead to:

• Poor water absorption and runoff
• Increased susceptibility to disease and pests
• Shallow root development
• Patchy or thinning grass
• Greater vulnerability during drought or extreme heat

Dethatching is the process of mechanically removing this layer to restore the natural flow of moisture and nutrients into the soil.

Our Professional Dethatching Process

At Turf & Tree Worx, we use professional-grade dethatching equipment to ensure thorough, efficient removal without damaging healthy turf. Our process includes:

• Lawn assessment: We evaluate your lawn’s thatch depth and overall condition to determine the best approach.
• Mechanical dethatching: We use power rakes or vertical mowers to lift and remove the excess thatch buildup.
• Raking and cleanup: After dethatching, we collect the loosened debris to leave your lawn clean and ready for recovery.
• Post-service care: We may recommend follow-up services such as aeration, overseeding, or fertilization to restore your lawn’s health and appearance.

Our trained lawn care experts perform dethatching carefully and strategically, typically during early spring or fall when your grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.

When Should You Dethatch Your Lawn?

Not every lawn needs dethatching every year. A good rule of thumb is to check for thatch depth once per season. If it exceeds ½ inch, it’s time to dethatch.

Common signs your lawn may need dethatching include:

• Spongy feel when you walk on it
• Water puddling on the surface after rainfall
• Patchy or weak-looking grass despite proper watering and mowing
• Increased lawn disease or pest problems

Our team will help you determine the best timing and frequency for dethatching based on your grass type, soil, and overall lawn health.
