Lawn Dethatching Services in Trail, Castlegar & Nelson
What Is Thatch?
Thatch is a dense layer of roots, stems, and organic debris that forms between your grass and the soil.
- A thin layer (less than ½ inch) is natural and beneficial — it retains moisture and protects roots from temperature swings.
- A thick layer (over 1 inch) becomes a barrier, causing:
- Weak, patchy grass
- Shallow roots
- Higher risk of pests and lawn disease
If your lawn looks uneven, tired, or struggles to absorb water, it may be time to dethatch.
When to Dethatch Your Lawn
Timing matters:
- Cool-season grasses: Late summer to early fall
- Warm-season grasses: Late spring to early summer, after green-up
Avoid dethatching during dry, dormant, or heat-stressed periods to protect your grass.
Not sure if your lawn needs dethatching? Check your thatch layer with a garden trowel. If it’s thicker than 1 inch, or water tends to sit on top of the grass, it’s time to schedule a professional service.

What is the difference between dethatching and aeration?
- Dethatching removes the organic barrier above the soil, clearing the way for air, water, and nutrients.
- Aeration removes plugs of soil to improve water and nutrient flow.
- Combined, these treatments strengthen roots and promote resilient, healthy growth — especially after winter or heavy use.
If your thatch layer exceeds 2 inches, DIY dethatching can damage your grass. Our trained team uses specialized equipment to carefully lift and remove excess thatch — often in multiple light passes — rejuvenating your lawn safely and effectively.
