Lawn Dethatching
Service
Let our lawn services simplify your life this season.
Dethatched. Raked. Removed.
Are you looking for a dethatching company? Dethatching service is a great way to help improve the overall health and quality of your lawn. Grass requires space to grow, and your natural thatch layer may be preventing your lawn from flourishing.
Our lawn care team will use a machine to power rake and dethatch your lawn to remove the dead grass that is taking up space in the lawn. After the lawn is dethatched by our professional lawn technician, our team will then rake up and bag all the debris from the lawn and haul it off your property. This will leave you with a lawn that is clean, and has space to grow.
Elite Lawn Care offers local dethatching services to Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Lake In The Hills, Huntley, & Cary, Illinois.
Why do I need Dethatching?
Keep vital nutrients reaching grass roots
Having too much thatch in a lawn can be harmful to the lawn’s overall health if not properly maintained.
A thick layer of thatch can act as a barrier between the turfs root system and the environment. This barrier will keep vital nutrients from the sun and wind from reaching the healthy grass underneath.
Layers of thatch in the lawn can act like a sponge soaking up water. This wet sponge promotes the perfect thriving environment for mold and disease. Thatch can act as a host for many insects and lawn disease. Some insects that love to build homes in thatch are spiders, mosquitos, fleas, chinch bugs, as well as many others.
Finally, a layer of thatch in the lawn will take up space. By having a dethatching company remove the thatch, the grass will have room for growth.
