Power raking is a gardening technique that involves using a specialized machine to remove thatch - a layer of dead grass, leaves, and other debris - from the surface of your lawn. This process is essential to maintain the health and appearance of your lawn and should be done at the right time and frequency to achieve the desired results.

​

Power raking is typically done in early spring or early fall when the grass is actively growing, and the thatch layer is relatively thick. The machine used for power raking has metal blades that slice through the thatch and loosen it from the soil. The debris is then collected and removed, leaving your lawn clean and healthy.

​

The benefits of power raking are many. It allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more easily, promoting healthy root growth and preventing disease. It also helps to prevent the buildup of thatch, which can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the soil and cause the grass to dry out and die.
