Professional Dethatching
Remove Lawn Thatch and Restore Turf Health
Over time, dead grass, roots, and debris form a layer of thatch that chokes your lawn. Our professional dethatching service removes this buildup, helping your lawn breathe again. With our top-of-the-line equipment and expert care, we remove excess thatch without damaging your turf—improving your lawn’s ability to absorb nutrients, water, and oxygen for stronger, greener growth.
Why Choose Our Dethatching Service
Healthier, Thicker Lawn: Removing thick thatch allows your lawn to absorb nutrients and water more effectively, encouraging stronger root growth.
Improved Fertilizer Results: With less debris blocking the soil, fertilizers and treatments can reach your lawn’s roots where they’re needed most.
Reduced Risk of Lawn Disease: Excess thatch traps moisture and creates a breeding ground for fungus and pests. Dethatching helps prevent these issues.
Instant Visual Improvement: A dethatched lawn instantly looks cleaner and more refreshed, with more room for healthy grass to thrive.
Professional Equipment & Expertise: Our team uses commercial-grade dethatching machines designed to lift and remove thatch efficiently and safely.

Testimonials
"This year we had Rovak perform dethatching, over seeding, and aeration for our lawn. From inquiring about service, estimate, and scheduling, they communicated really well every step of the way, provided detailed instruction and tips for helping services be most effective. The guys that came out were very friendly, respectful of our property and overall did really great work. I would highly recommend this family business to anyone looking to improve their lawn."
