Thatch is a tightly intermingled layer of living and dead stems, roots, rhizomes, plant crowns and other plant parts which develop between the layer of green vegetation and the soil surface. Because the thatch layer is plant residue in various stages of decay, it attracts insects and creates a perfect environment for mold and other growths to develop. Thatch also prevents sunlight, oxygen and moisture from getting to the nutrient-hungry soil below. These dethatchers quickly and easily remove thatch to encourage new growth and promote a much fuller and greener lawn. There is simply no other way to revitalize turf properly than using a dethatcher. Shipped Freight-FREE in most areas. An additional freight charge up to $100 will apply to shipments west of Las Vegas.
