Dethatching

New lawn down

Ever wondered why your lawn is so spongy, well you may have a dead layer of grass between soil & your actively growing grass. This layer is called thatch. Thatch causes a number of problems, some of them being poor drainage, restriction of fertilizer & water absorption into soil. Our Dethatching machine will remove around 17% of your current thatch layer per treatment.
