Typically recommended once or twice a year, depending on grass type and thatch accumulation rate.
Proper dethatching can improve turf density by up to 30%, leading to a more resilient and lush lawn.
Professional dethatching services can complete the process efficiently, often within a few hours, minimizing disruption.
The dethatching process usually takes between one to three hours for a standard residential lawn when performed by a professional. It begins with assessing the level of thatch buildup, followed by using specialized equipment to loosen and remove the organic layer. After dethatching, the lawn may require overseeding or fertilization to promote healthy regrowth. The process is most effective when performed during the active growing season, allowing the grass to recover quickly.
Hiring a professional for dethatching ensures the task is completed thoroughly and safely. Professionals have the experience and equipment to adjust the intensity of dethatching to suit different grass types and lawn conditions. This reduces the risk of damaging the turf and ensures optimal results. Proper dethatching can lead to a healthier, more vibrant lawn with improved resistance to pests and diseases.

For optimal lawn health, dethatching should be scheduled during periods of active growth, typically in spring or early fall. This timing allows the grass to recover quickly and establish a strong root system. Regular dethatching, combined with proper watering and fertilization, can maintain a lush and resilient lawn throughout the year.
