Offering environmentally responsible lawn care and tree and shrub services.

"On 8/14/20 NaturaLawn technician Robert Braun arrived to apply the third lawn fertilizer application for the year. Robert was very pleasant and efficient and even took the time to spot treat the few unavoidable weeds that had materialized since the last application. At the same time Robert arrived we had received a shipment from another company for a product that weighed over 160 pounds. When he noticed the shipping company technician would not bring the container into the house, Robert offered to do so for us! It was a beautiful act of kindness on his part and we are so grateful for his generosity. Our lawn is looking great with NaturaLawn. We fully intend to utilize NaturaLawn going forward and hope Robert continues to be assigned as our lawn technician.”"

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.
