Professional Power Raking for a Lush Lawn
Power raking is a lawn maintenance process that involves using specialized equipment to remove thatch, moss, and debris from the soil surface. This service helps improve grass health, enhances nutrient absorption, and promotes better air circulation in the turf. It is especially beneficial for lawns that have become thick with organic material, which can hinder root growth and lead to a less vibrant appearance.
Removing thatch with power raking improves water penetration and nutrient absorption, resulting in healthier, greener lawns.
Late fall and early winter are optimal times to perform power raking, preparing the lawn for winter and encouraging strong growth in the spring.
Specialized power rakes or dethatchers are used to efficiently remove organic buildup without damaging the soil or grass.
Depending on lawn conditions, power raking may be performed once or twice a year to maintain optimal turf health.
