Is dethatching more important than aerating?

• <div><p>No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.</p></div>

They came on the day agreed and removed all the tree trunks at the street. They cleaned up the front lawn and raked up after. I would use them again in the future and recommend them to others. Price was fair.
