"The fence work was performed on a wet muddy day. The crew did a good job of not doing damage to the lawn and cleaned up the work area. The crew installed the fence the way that I requested. There is a large dip in the lawn and the crew installed the level across the dip as requested."

Lawn Dethatching questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right grass seed and planting it at the right time are the most important factors in establishing fast-growing grass. You also need adequate water, sunshine, and nutrients. To speed up the growth process, you can implement some tips and tricks, including watering it deeply and frequently, and using an iron-rich fertilizer to boost its appearance.

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.

While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.

Both aerating and scarifying are beneficial lawn maintenance tasks, but they serve different purposes. Aerating involves poking holes into the soil to allow air, moisture, and nutrients to penetrate, which is especially useful for compacted soil. Scarifying removes the buildup of dead plant matter, like thatch, from the soil’s surface. Because they address different issues, scarifying cannot replace aerating, as it doesn't penetrate the soil to relieve compaction. Most lawns need both treatments to thrive. However, if your lawn has little foot traffic and isn't prone to compaction, you may be able to aerate less often than the standard recommendation of once per year.

While dethatching first often makes the aeration process faster and easier, both actions can be done on the same day. Aeration can also loosen up the thatch, even if you have a harder time aerating the soil because the thatch got too thick. Because both dethatching and aeration have the common goal of making it easier for the soil to get water and nutrients, it’s safe and possible to do both at the same time.
