Don’t let thatch buildup suffocate your lawn. Our dethatching services improve air circulation, water absorption, and root health for a thriving yard.
Is your lawn struggling despite regular watering and fertilizing? If your grass feels spongy, looks patchy, or fails to thrive, thick thatch buildup may be the culprit. At Tatum Lawn Care, we offer expert dethatching services in Moses Lake designed to remove excess thatch, improve airflow and nutrient absorption, and restore your lawn’s health from the roots up.
Thatch is a dense layer of dead grass stems, roots, and organic material that accumulates between the soil surface and green grass blades. While a small amount (less than ½ inch) can help insulate the lawn, too much thatch blocks the essentials your lawn needs to thrive.
Thatch creates a barrier that prevents water, air, and nutrients from penetrating into the soil where grass roots need them most.
Thick layers of thatch can harbor insects, fungus, and disease. These pathogens thrive in the moist environment that builds between soil and the thatch layer.
Grass roots grow into the thatch layer instead of the soil, resulting in weaker, shallow-rooted grass that struggles to survive during heat, drought, or stress.
Because thatch limits water infiltration, grass dries out faster during dry periods, leading to brown patches and lawn thinning.
Tatum Lawn Care uses specialized equipment and expert techniques to safely remove thatch buildup without damaging healthy turf.
