How to Dethatch Your Lawn

 Dethatching is the best way to get rid of thatch in your lawn. It involves tearing through your lawn to remove the thatch layer beneath with a dethatching tool, like a dethatching rake, power rake, or verticutter (vertical mower). Here’s a short step-by-step guide on dethatching a lawn:

Water your lawn two days before dethatching.

Run the dethatching machine at least three times across the lawn.

Remove the piles of thatch and dispose of them when you’re finished.
