All lawn varieties can build up thatch from time to time. Small amounts of thatch can be beneficial to prevent evaporation and it aids water retention and can give increased tolerance to wear and tear. However, when this thatch accumulation reaches a point where it impedes water, air and fertiliser penetration, then it needs to be removed by scalping the lawn.
Dethatching is important for all homeowners who want to maintain good looking, thick and healthy lawn. Providing you vertimow your lawn at the right time of the year, and it’s done properly, most lawns will truly benefit as the grass roots will receive more air, water and nutrients.
