Lawn De-Thatching
Thatch is the buildup of decomposing blades of grass. It's the grass your
lawn mower cuts off. A regular lawn mower cuts a blade of grass off in one
cut. A mulcher-mower cuts the blade of grass many times to help speed up
the decomposition of the cut grass, or "thatch". We've all heard that it
is good to leave the cut grass on the lawn, as it returns valuable nutrients.
A problem occurs, when the decomposition process is too slow in decomposing
the thatch. Thatch then builds up into a thick layer. Heavy thatch impedes
the movement of nutrient and water to the roots of the grass. Secondly, it
can prevent the emergence and growth of new blades of grass. It also can
harbor plant disease that is harmful to your lawn.
De-thatching lawns helps in overall lawn growth and health, when thatch buildup
is excessive. De-thatching is the process of removing the cut, decaying layer
of dead grass. It's accomplished by simply raking out the thatch. If the
task of raking your lawn seems overwhelming, lawn care services can do it
for you.
In most cases, de-thatching need not be a regular lawn care chore. It only
needs to be done when thatch build-up is excessive.
