Product Information

The word ‘rake’ comes from the Old English word ‘raca’ from the root meaning of ‘heap up’ or ‘to scrape together’. Dethatching should only be done a couple of times a year. It works only for warm-season grasses (Buffalo, Kikuyu, Couch and Zoysia). It should be avoided for cool-season types – fescue and the likes as this practice will probably spell the end of your lawn.

The process of dethatching your lawn depends on which method you choose. If you’re removing thatch manually, use a thatch rake and work across your lawn in a crisscross pattern. The 15-inch-wide head of the rake is adjustable, allowing the user to create the necessary angle to remove dead grass gently or switch to a more aggressive pitch for pulling out weeds and breaking up earth. The rake is also durable and easy on the hands thanks to a hardwood handle that’s fitted with a cushioned grip at the end.Read this post, " Should You Dethatch Or Aerate A Lawn First?"to learn more about dethatching.

The tines are great for breaking and leveling soil, mulch, gravel, and compost.Many manual dethatching rakes can weigh upward of 5 pounds with their hardwood handles and steel heads, making them tougher to use, especially for larger jobs. This rake from Groundskeeper is a lightweight option that’s still effective at removing thatch. It weighs just 2 pounds but includes 28 thin steel tines that are curved to bite into dead grass and pull it loose from the soil. A power rake looks similar to a small lawn mower, only instead of a spinning blade that cuts grass, it is equipped with a cylinder that’s covered in dethatcher tines. A motor powers the cylinder, which spins through the lawn pulling up dead grass as it goes. For yards that suffer from chronic thatch problems, a manual dethatcher or even a corded model simply won’t cut it. This large model from VonHaus is a great option for those with bigger thatch issues. It has a 12.5-amp motor that powers a 15-inch wide dethatching cylinder, making it suitable for small to midsize lawns with significant thatch issues. Unlike a power dethatcher or a tow-behind dethatcher, this style requires the user to supply all of the force needed for pulling up thatch. In addition to being cheaper, they also take up much less room than powered versions or tow-behind dethatchers. Power Rake
