Thatching (or dethatching) is the removal of dead grass and moss from your lawn. These build up over time and it can keep your lawn from getting the nutrients and air it needs. Thatching also aids in the prevention of disease and insects in your lawn. This is a very labor intensive project, sometimes even producing truckloads of material that needs to be removed.
In a wet climate like the northwest, soil becomes compacted very easily making it difficult for your lawn's roots to get the things it needs. Aerating helps relieve that compaction through the removal of small plugs of grass and soil from your lawn. This allows for nutrients, air and water to reach your lawn's root system more easily, in turn providing a healthier lawn. Through our staff's knowledge and skill and the use of our commercial grade core aerator, we make sure that your lawn is properly aerated.
