Thatch and a rake in a yard in Washoe City, Nevada

Our relentless hard work and pursuit of perfection means we won’t leave even an inch of your garden at a disadvantage when it comes to gathering water or nutrients. Any thatching that could pose a problem to the health of your yard will be removed efficiently and immediately. Dethatching is an integral part of lawn care. If not done properly and seasonally, the thatch buildup can end up costing a ton of money down the road. Simply put, when you dethatch, it's a process that removes stems, roots, dead plant parts, and other debris just above the soil and under the new grass. Being such an integral part of lawn maintenance, rest assured our gardeners have this lawn service perfected.

 

In order to have a lush, healthy green lawn, it needs to be aerated and dethatched properly so sun, water and nutrients can reach down to the roots. If left unchecked by you (if you know what your doing) or a professional gardener, the debris and thatching that collects can form an almost impenetrable mat that can cause health issues and can even lead to the death of your grass and plants. Some varieties of grass are more prone to thatch such as Kentucky bluegrass and creeping red fescue. Whether you have a lawn with one of these species or a landscape have something else like a classic St Augustine, rest assured our companies lawn care experts already know how to handle the dethatching for the best lawn maintenance results for you.

​We recommend you get a dethatch lawn service your yard at least once a year. The ideal time to do this is when springtime is approaching. While we are one of many lawn companies in Carson City and Reno, we are the best at fixing up gardens and getting them up to peak appearance. Having more than an inch of thatch building up is not recommended and it should be removed ASAP at that point as it can be even more damaging than an overabundance of weeds.

​
Aeration is another important component of a healthy lawn maintenance routine and goes hand in hand with dethatching. This process removes cores of soil from your yard about 2-3 inches deep allowing for vital air, water and nutrients to reach deep down to the root crown and replenish your grass. Be sure not to over fertilize or irrigate improperly because doing so can also lead to more thatching than is healthy. ​ Of course, like any good gardener, we're here to save you the trouble of tracking and fixing all of these thatch issues for you.
