Understand Power Raking (Dethatching) and its Purpose

Power raking actually removes the dead layer of material that tends to settle on top of the subs soil. So, I want you to think of it like this. You have your subs soil, you have your grass growing up, then you have a small layer of dead material that's suffocating the grass from really reaching its maximum potential. What what power raking does or deatching is it takes and it physically rips that dead material out of there. Now, it is loosening the soil at the same time, but not to the extent that coreration does, but it removes that dead layer of of matter and then it leaves it lay on top. So you have to remove the dead material when you're doing power raking or deatchching. Otherwise, it'll settle back in and defeat the purpose of ever doing it in the first place. So that is the subtle difference. Each one has its place. Coreration has its time and place when you have heavily compacted soils. Uh hight traffic areas. power raking and deatching. That should be done maybe once a year to make sure that you remove that that material that builds up in
