Power Raking:

Also know as a dethatcher removes thatch a layer of dead grass and debris that accumulates on the soil surface. Power Raking lifts the thatch to the surface for easier removal. This process helps improve soil aeration, enhances water and nutrient penetration

Thatch buildup is problematic for several reasons:

 Root Impairment-

 Excessive thatch can create a barrier preventing water, nutrients and air from reaching the soil and grass roots

Water drainage issues- 

Thick thatch can hinder proper water drainage leading to water logged soil and increased risk of root diseases 

Reduced Resilience-

 Lawns with significant thatch may become less resilient to stressors like drought or extreme temperatures making them more susceptible to damage 

Poor nutrient absorption- 

Thatch can interfere with absorption of essential nutrients by the grass roots negatively impacting the overall health of the lawn

Disease and Pest Habitat- 

Thatch provides a conducive environment for pests, diseases and fungi to thrive.

 It can be beneficial to Power Rake in the spring or the fall depending on the specific needs of your lawn

Spring: Addresses thatch buildup from the winter and promotes a healthy start to the growing season

-Prepares the lawn for new growth by improving soil aeration and nutrient absorption

Fall: Removes thatch that accumulates over the growing season. A well maintained lawn is more resilient to the winter stressors, ensuring a quicker recovery when spring arrives

Over-seeding:

Spreading new grass seed over your lawn is an effective way to enhance density, improve colour and address thin or bare areas. Over-seeding helps introduce new, vigorous grass varieties promoting a lusher more resilient lawn. It’s a proactive measure that contributes to overall turf health, making your lawn more resistant to stress, pests and diseases while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. For the best results we recommend aerating your lawn and then over-seeding. Aeration creates openings in the soil, allowing the newly sown grass seeds to penetrate and establish better contact with the soil . This promotes optimal seed-to-soil contact, increasing germination rates and ensuring a more successful overseeing process.
