Thatch is the accumulation of grass stems and roots forming just above the surface of the soil. A normal part of every lawn, thatch is not a problem until it is about half an inch thick. At that point, it is preventing water from reaching the deep roots in the soil, and can block sunlight from the grass below it. Both conditions can lead to withered and brown grass.
Annual aeration is advised for lawns with a thatch buildup. Aerating will help the thatch decompose, and will also expose the soil to an increased amount of oxygen. Aeration will significantly reduce thatch, improve turf growth and ensure that you will have a healthy lawn.
We offer two types of aeration, both of which are highly effective:
Mechanical Aeration
We use coring machines, or aerators, to remove plugs of soil from the lawn, giving the grass room to grow. This helps the roots reach deeper and helps eliminate thatch.
Liquid Aeration
This is a 3-in-1 spray on application to aerate, dethatch, and condition your grass and soil. The revolutionary polymer based liquid has humic acids, kelp and mycorrhizae.
