What is Dethatching & Scalping?
Dethatching removes the thick layer of dead grass, roots, and debris (called thatch) that builds up between your lawn and the soil. Scalping trims the grass extremely low, removing excess thatch and old growth sitting above the soil line.
This buildup suffocates your grass and prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots. Too much thatch also blocks sunlight and traps moisture, making your lawn prone to pests, fungus, and shallow root growth.
Our dethatching and scalping service cuts through the mess and gives your grass space to thrive naturally.
Does Your Lawn Need It?
Your lawn might be struggling more than you think — here are signs it could need dethatching and scalping:
✅ Lawn feels spongy or bouncy underfoot
✅ Water pools or runs off instead of soaking in
✅ Yellow or thinning patches of grass
✅ Grass appears matted, tangled, or overly tall early in the season
