Dethatching your lawn will add curb appeal to your home as well as contribute to a healthy yard. Dethatching is a process where ‘thatch’ is removed from your lawn to promote greener grass and a healthier lawn by letting your lawn breathe. If you are looking for a thick, green, healthy lawn look no further than dethatching.

Why Dethatch your Lawn?
In Minnesota we are hit hard with extreme weather year after year. Season after season your lawn breaks down organic compound (thatch) that inhibits growth, beauty, and overall health. In order to maintain a healthy lawn in Minnesota it’s important to manually maintain it with proper organics, aeration, dethatching, and fertilization. By dethatching your lawn you are physically removing the brown decay and roots that are keeping your lawn from looking its best! Excess thatch can make your lawn look brown and unhealthy. It also can be a breeding ground for lawn diseases if there is too much thatch on your lawn.

Benefits of Dethatching Your Lawn
  • Promotes Healthy Lawn
  • Healthy Root Growth
  • Effective Draining
  • Prevents Disease 

How to Dethatch your Lawn?
Now that we know the why let’s talk about the how. At 3 Bears Landscaping we are happy to come to your home and evaluate your lawn dethatching needs. We use special heavy equipment to get the job done right the first time.  We will use a lawn dethatcher to remove all of your access thatch, rake up the debris, and remove it for you. We will then fertilize and reseed your lawn if you would like. This will instantly promote growth and health to your lawn. We can dethatch your lawn anytime during the spring, summer, or fall but prefer to do it during the spring when your lawn is recovering from the winter snow cover. We also recommend lawn dethatching every other year.  The dethatcher machine will cut through the thatch with metal blades bringing the thatch to the top of your lawn. We will then rake up the excess thatch and remove it from your lawn. If you’ve never dethatched your lawn before expect a good amount of thatch to surface. It can be physically demanding to dethatch your lawn manually with a dethatching rake. Dethatching can also be hard on your lawn if done incorrectly causing damage that can take months to repair. Ask yourself if you’re up to the challenge of dethatching your lawn. If you are up the challenge that’s great! If not, let 3 Bears Landscaping bring your lawn back to life with dethatching!

That is really nice that dethatching my lawn could promote healthy root growth. This is something that I would want to have for my lawn to help it grow better. Maybe I should look into getting someone to come to help make my lawn more healthy.

I liked that you explained that one way to better take care of your lawn is by dethatching it to allow for healthy and green grass. I would imagine that taking care of a lawn yourself is a lot of work. I would consider hiring a professional to best maintain my lawn so that I wouldn't have to worry about it.

I had no idea that thatch can cause your lawn to get diseases if not removed properly. I don't think a lot of people know about this either and that's not good. I'll be sure to follow your advice and call a professional lawn care company to come and dethatch my lawn.

My brother bought a beautiful house that has a large backyard and he wants to find a way to keep the grass healthy. I found it interesting when you said that dethatching your lawn can help it to be healthy and avoiding from getting a disease. I will recommend him to contact a professional company that can properly take care of his lawn.
