FAQ About Thatch

 When should you dethatch a lawn?

You should dethatch during your turf’s growing season, just before its annual growth spurt. For warm-season grasses, this means you should dethatch in the late spring or early summer. Cool-season grasses should be dethatched from late summer to early fall.


Can you dethatch a stressed lawn?

Never dethatch a stressed lawn! A lawn that’s stressed from drought and high temperatures is weakened and won’t be able to recover from dethatching quickly. This can lead to lawn diseases.


What grasses aren’t prone to thatch development?

Bunch-type grasses don’t really spread, so they’re less prone to thatch development. Some bunch-type grasses homeowners can cultivate in their lawns are tall fescue and perennial ryegrass.


How much does professional dethatching cost?

The national average cost of dethatching your lawn, if you hire a professional landscaping service, is about $190 per hour or between $0.35 and $0.15 per square foot.
