In Connecticut, dethatching is a lawn maintenance service that should be performed at least every other year. At Elite Property & Fence, we have the experience and tools that allow us to get to the root of your dead, dull grass leaving the healthy, vibrant grass room to grow and expand ultimately leaving you with that luscious green yard you’ve always wanted.

There are different ways Elite Property can prevent and control thatch buildup in your lawn, we will combine the following techniques in our lawn maintenance and process.

Core aerating your lawn is an excellent way to control thatch, as it removes plugs that also contain thatch. Plugs from a healthy soil contain microbes that breakdown thatch and turn it into nutrients for the soil. It’s like a mini composting system for you lawn.

We will water your lawn deeply but infrequently. This will encourage deep root growth and will also help cut down on thatch. Shallow watering can create shallow rooting. Basically, the roots will grow closer to the source of water. Over watering or fertilizing can also lead to thatch build up, so give it only what it requires.

Another way we help control thatch is by applying a thin layer of compost or topdressing to your soil each year. The compost will feed the soil with nutrients while breaking down the thatch.

Power raking is another technique we utilize because its a great way to clean up winter debris to give your lawn a boost for the spring growing season.
