"This company was contracted to trim my palm trees by PG&E. They did not notify me that they were coming and showed up and butchered my trees while I was at work. Had they notified me, I would have told them that there were protected falcons nesting in one palm, and great horned owls nesting in the other. Because of their negligence and the ignorance of the trimmer, the falcons lost their nest and habitat that they had lived in for years. Not only this, but the great horned owls lost their nest and habitat and I came home to find 2 dead baby owls that were probably days away from hatching. They had beaks, claws on their talons, and were developing feathers. I was devastated and mortified. Our house has been on the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival tour for the last 2 years. These birds meant a lot to me, and I am heartbroken. On top of all of this, they did a horrible job. I had to leave a star to leave a review, but zero stars."

Lawn dethatching services FAQs

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.

You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.

Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.

The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
