OREM, UTAH LAWN THATCHING

Picture

Lush green grass and a clean cut lawn is a dream. When it comes to our lawns, many home owners have wondered just what is lawn thatching?

Lawn thatch is a naturally occurring situation in your lawn. It is a layer of plant material that builds up between the green growth at the top and the roots of the grass plants. Thatch develops naturally as your lawn grows. The grass plant will shed off its old roots, shoots and leaves. A small amount of thatch is important because it helps protect the roots, but excessive thatch prevents moisture, oxygen and nutrients from penetrating the soil. When it gets to this point, it's time to consider dethatching your lawn.​

Is dethatching your lawn beneficial?
What does Dethatching do for your lawn? Dethatching is a service that removes the built up plant debris that is preventing water, oxygen and nutrients from reaching the roots. A thatch that is too thick can lead to increased pest problems as well as diseases. It can also reduce the effectiveness of some fungicides and insecticides because it can reach it's target area. Dethatching allows your lawn to continue to grow by giving it room to breathe.

Shoutld I dethatch my lawn yearly?
Should I Dethatch my lawn every year? This will depend on your grass species and on your lawn health. Dethatching should be done only when the conditions of your lawn dictate it. You should review your lawn for symptoms of excessive thatching yearly and make an informed decision on whether or not the thatch is too thick and will need to be dethatched to benefit the health of your lawn.

Lawn thatching plays a vital role in your lawn. It is an invisible part to your luscious lawn, but is key to it's health.

Knowing the signs of excessive thatch and taking steps to dethatch your lawn regularly will increase the health and beauty of your lawn.​
