Lawn Dethatching in Danville CA and the San Ramon Valley

Thatch is the accumulation of grass clippings and debris that gets packed into the ground at the base of your grass. A small layer of thatch is not unhealthy and can actually help your lawn retain moisture. However, too much thatch is unhealthy for your grass. It can prevent water and fertilizer from reaching the roots and makes great food for fungus and grubs, and other pests that love to eat or kill grass. Controlling thatch is essential to the proper health of your lawn and needs to be removed with a dethatching (or scarifying) machine periodically. Your Danville Lawn Care Professional will know when dethatching is required and take care of it for you.
