Power Raking
Remove the dead layer that's holding your lawn back.
Spring power raking pulls up the thick layer of dead thatch, matted grass, and winter debris that accumulates at the base of your turf. Removing it lets water, air, and nutrients reach the soil — giving your lawn the clean start it needs to thrive.

Our commercial-grade power rakes work in multiple directions to pull up embedded thatch without damaging healthy turf.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is power raking and why does my lawn need it?
Power raking uses rotating tines to cut through and pull up the layer of dead organic matter (thatch) that builds up between the soil and living grass. When thatch exceeds half an inch thick, it blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching the root zone — resulting in a weak, patchy lawn.
When is the best time to power rake?
Early spring — before your grass begins active growth — is the ideal window. This gives your lawn time to recover and fill in before warm-season growth kicks off.
Can I bundle power raking with fertilizer?
Yes, and we recommend it. Book both spring power raking and spring fertilizer together and save $50 on your order. Freshly raked turf absorbs fertilizer far more effectively.
Will power raking damage my lawn?
When done correctly and at the right time of year, power raking is not damaging. Our crews are trained to use the correct tine depth for your grass type to clean the thatch layer without stressing healthy turf.
