Some things can affect the look of your lawn, such as thatch. You may have wondered what thatch is. Thatch is a tightly mixed layer of accumulated living and dead root grass and other plant matter such as stems, leaves, and crowns. Organic materials may comprise thatch, but a buildup of it can cause issues with your lawn, including brown spots. Fortunately, there are ways to keep thatch under control, such as proper lawn maintenance and aerating once or twice a year. But if you think your lawn has too much thatch, The Grounds Guys' commercial lawn dethatching service can help!

What can thatch do to your lawn?

Top dressing your lawn with compost is an excellent way to add beneficial organic matter that can help improve the soil. Call us today for a free commercial top dressing estimate from our service professionals!
Overseeding the lawn is a great way to get your lawn looking thick, lush, and green. It’s also a great way to diversify your lawn and prevent insect infestations! The Grounds Guys can overseed your lawn with seeds resistant to insects and diseases.

When To Start the Commercial Lawn Dethatching Process

When the thatch gets over 1/2 inch in thickness, it’s time to address the issue. Commercial lawn dethatching can stress a lawn, so we recommend dethatching in the Spring or Fall. Dethatching during these seasons allows your lawn to recover faster.

Why Choose Us for Commercial Lawn Dethatching?

Dethatching a lawn correctly requires proper training, experience, and equipment. Our team uses a mechanical commercial lawn dethatcher to remove thatch from your lawn. Running a commercial lawn dethatcher over the lawn is a highly labor-intensive task. Correcting the issue will often require several passes in different directions to bring up enough thatch to thin it out.

Once complete, The Grounds Guys will always leave your landscape looking better than ever. We’re committed to keeping your commercial property looking neat and attractive. Once we complete the job, our team will rake up debris, haul it away, and turn it into compost. This can also be the perfect time to consider top dressing with compost and overseeding the lawn!

Invest in your business and reap the rewards. We’re here for you! We offer free consultations and estimates.

Amazing work! My yard side yard went from a looking like a jungle to the garden it is supposed to look like. Justin and Angel made sure everything looked okay with me before going on to the next task. Very detail oriented.

The crew arrived ready to transform my space, and wow is it beautiful! The guys worked efficiently and carefully, planting the bushes and plants. I would highly recommend David and the crew.

The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.
