Example #1 Example #2
Spongy green lawn
This is how the lawn looked when I got there. It had a moderate amount of thatch, and was a little "spongy" to walk on.
Heavy thatch layer lawn
A close inspection at the time of the estimate revealed that this lawn had a much heavier layer of thatch...
Pulled out grass
I adjust my thatcher so that the blades just touch the top of the soil. You can see what was pulled out.
Dark green pulled out grass
...as you can see.
Rakes up lawn
Here the thatch is raked up and ready to load into the truck.
Raked up grass
Raked up and ready to load.
Excess grass vaccumed
Finally, I vacuum the lawn to pick up thatch that the rakes left behind. As you can see, dethatching should not damage the lawn.
Dark green grass vacuumed
Vacuumed; ready for fertilizer and other soil amendments. This lawn is now much firmer to walk on and is on its way to excellent health
