Dethatching & Power Raking
Over time, a layer of thatch, dead grass, roots, and organic material, can build up between your grass and the soil. While a small amount of thatch is normal, too much can suffocate your lawn, preventing water, nutrients, and oxygen from reaching the roots.
Our lawn dethatching service and power raking help remove this buildup, promoting stronger, healthier grass.
At Greenscape Landscaping, we use professional power dethatcher and power raking equipment to clear away excess thatch, allowing your lawn to breathe and thrive.
If your grass looks thin, patchy, or struggles to grow, it may be time to schedule lawn dethatching or power raking for a healthier yard.

What Is Thatch & Why Does It Need to Be Removed?
Thatch is a layer of organic debris that sits between the soil and the grass blades. While a thin layer of thatch (less than ½ inch) can help retain moisture and provide insulation, too much creates serious lawn problems.
- Prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots: A thick layer blocks moisture and essential nutrients, weakening your lawn.
- Encourages pests and lawn diseases: Excess thatch creates a breeding ground for insects, mold, and fungal diseases.
- Causes patchy, unhealthy grass: Grass may turn yellow or brown, feel spongy, or develop dead spots.
- Prevents overseeding success: Thick thatch blocks seeds from making proper contact with the soil, reducing germination.
Our lawn dethatching service is designed to break up and remove compacted thatch, restoring proper airflow and nutrient absorption for a healthier, greener lawn.
The Difference Between Dethatching & Power Raking
Both dethatching and power raking help improve lawn health, but they serve different purposes. We assess your lawn’s condition and recommend the best method for optimal results.
Dethatching: Deep Thatch Removal
- Uses a power dethatcher with vertical blades to cut through and lift thick, compacted thatch (more than ½ inch thick).
- Best for lawns with excessive thatch buildup that is blocking nutrients and water.
- More aggressive than power raking, often requiring overseeding and recovery time.

Power Raking: Surface-Level Thatch Removal
- Uses a power rake with spring-loaded tines to pull up loose thatch and debris from the surface.
- Ideal for routine lawn maintenance to keep thatch from accumulating.
- Less aggressive than dethatching, making it suitable for lawns with light thatch buildup (less than ½ inch thick).
For best results, we recommend lawn dethatching when thatch has built up significantly and power raking for ongoing maintenance in early spring or early fall, when the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.
