What's thatch and why does it matter?

Thatch is the dead-grass layer that builds up between your soil and the green blades. A thick layer blocks water, air, and nutrients. Dethatching opens the lawn back up.

When should I dethatch?

Early spring (before the first big push of growth) or early fall. Avoid mid-summer heat.
