De-Thatching: If your lawn has moss in it. Or it's dull, yellowing and lifeless. Your solution is to de-thatch, aerate and overseed. Thatch is a layer of dead stems, roots and clippings between the soil's surface and the green vegetation.
Thatch accumulation should not exceed 1/2 inch. Excess thatch and moss blocks out air, light and water from reaching root zones. Thatch and moss also makes an excellent breeding ground for harmful insects and disease organisms.
A simple process called de-thatching provides the best solution to moss problems, thatch build up and can restore an unhealthy yellowing lawn.
De-thatching is a process that mechanically removes accumulated thatch build up and moss using a de-thatching unit or power rake. These machines slice through the turf, lifting thatch debris to the surface for removal. Once this build up is eliminated, air, water and nutrients can flow freely to the roots rejuvenating a once yellowing and lifeless lawn. Then it's time to aerate the turf, overseed, and water.
