Detaching Done Right

When Yakima homeowners need their lawn detatched, we’re the team you can trust. We combine years of experience with timely, detail-oriented service to give your lawn a new lease on life. Our team of professional landscapers uses a range of tools and machinery to remove thatch and improve your lawn’s condition, all while ensuring it grows back stronger, healthier, lusher than ever before.

Dethatching is a restorative process used to remove excess thatch from your lawn. By removing that thatch, it allows your grass to absorb nutrients, moisture, and sunlight more effectively, giving it just what it needs to look its best. If you suspect your lawn may benefit from detatching, turn to the best in the business to do the job right. Contact Absolute Lawn Care Service to schedule a no-obligation consultation today.

Why Dethatch?

Thatch is a natural circumstance of having grass and it serves many purposes, but left unattended, too much thatch can suffocate your lawn. This results in the grass not being able to grow, and a dry, brown lawn.

Dethatching should only be done when necessary, and that doesn't mean once a year. There are many factors to consider, but the easiest one is to measure the height of the thatch. Half an inch of thatch is ideal for grass because it allows just the right amount of moisture while protecting the soil from too much heat. Any more than that, and thatch can start to pose a problem, sapping your lawn of much-needed nutrients and water.

If it has been a while since you have had professional lawn help, or you look outside and see brown grass, please give us a call. We’ll be happy to perform a no-obligation assessment to see if your lawn requires dethatching, or if it could benefit from something a little less intensive, such as aeration.

The Pros and Cons of Lawn Dethatching

Lately, it seems that pulling as much thatch off lawns as possible has become a point of pride for some landscapers. Dethatching too often can be damaging to the lawn because some thatch should be there to protect the grass.

When dethatched correctly, your lawn will begin to thrive once again. At Absolute Lawn Care Service, our team works with care and diligence to achieve perfect equilibrium for your lawn. We never remove more thatch than we have to, and we always make sure to inspect your lawn to see if it could benefit from any additional lawn care services, such as overseeding or slitseeding. Since taking care of your lawn is our number one priority, we won't dethatch it unless we deem it beneficial for the health of your lawn.

Get the Lawn of Your Dreams With Dethatching in Yakima

For homeowners and business owners alike, getting the perfect lawn will always be a priority. Regular fertilization, scheduled lawn mowing, and, due to the semi-arid and mostly dry climate of Yakima, frequent irrigation, are just the beginning of good lawn care. To really make the most of your lawn, you need to take into account thatch. Is it the right thickness? Is it getting too big? And, let’s be honest, what is it even?

Absolute Lawn Care Service is here to give you a crash course in thatch. After all, we’re Yakima’s local experts in dethatching and aeration services. Read on to learn more about what it is and how to deal with it to get the best lawn you’ve ever had.

What is Thatch?

Thatch is an important component of a healthy lawn. It sits between the soil where the grass roots find their home and the blades of grass that reach toward the sun. It’s made up of a combination of dead roots, plant matter, grass clippings, leaves, and other organic material.

Thatch protects the roots from the harsh sun’s rays and keeps the soil moist and damp so that the roots can get all the nutrients they need.

However, if the layer of thatch on your lawn gets too thick, it can actually prevent nutrients, air, and water from reaching the soil below. When this occurs, the roots will start to grow in the thatch itself rather than the soil, leaving them without the nutrients they need to make healthy green grass.

A normal layer of thatch is about ½ inch and under. If your thatch exceeds a ½ inch, it might be worth considering having your lawn dethatched. However, because dethatching can heavily damage your lawn, it’s best to consult with the professionals at Absolute Lawn Care Service before undertaking any work.

What is the Difference Between Dethatching and Aeration?

Thatch builds up naturally on every lawn. To ensure that the thatch on your lawn doesn’t get too thick, it’s good to have your lawn aerated once or twice a year. Aeration works by cutting out cores of soil and leaving them on top of the grass. This allows moisture and nutrients to get back to the roots while also cutting up the thatch layer. Aeration can be considered a kind of preventative measure so that dethatching doesn’t need to be done regularly.

Dethatching is a restorative process in which blades are inserted into the thatch and tear it up off the soil. For small patches of lawn, a dethatching rake will do. For larger patches, it’s necessary to have a dethatching machine. Once the thatch has been torn up from the soil, it can be raked away and disposed of elsewhere.

Will Dethatching Damage Your Lawn?

The short answer is yes. When the blades of the rake or dethatching machine cut into the thatch, they also cut into the healthy grass and its roots. And although it’s temporary, it can be disappointing to see a damaged lawn at the end of the process.

That’s why it’s important to consult the experts at Absolute Lawn Care Service to be sure that it’s necessary for your property. In the long run, your lawn will be healthier, but it shouldn’t be done too often. The best thing you can do is contact us and have us assess the condition of your lawn. We will do a core sample and show you the status of your thatch in person.
