Clear the surface. Let grass breathe.

Is your lawn suffocating under a thick blanket of dead grass?
Our professional dethatching service removes the dense layer of debris blocking water and fertilizer from reaching your soil. Lawn Dethatching is designed to remove the barrier of dead organic matter sitting between your green grass and the soil surface. Many lawns develop a thick thatch layer made of roots, stems, and debris that prevents moisture and nutrients from penetrating properly. If the layer exceeds half an inch, water runs off instead of soaking in, and grass roots stay shallow. Our lawn dethatching service in Fredericton uses commercial power raking equipment to mechanically lift and remove this matted buildup. If your soil feels soft but your grass looks brown and tangled, dethatching lawn surfaces is the targeted solution. It restores direct contact between grass and soil, creating healthier growing conditions without disturbing the ground below.


We remove thick thatch that blocks water, fertilizer, and airflow from reaching the soil.

Our machines use vertical blades to comb through and lift matted debris hand rakes miss.

Power raking pulls up heavy material. We rake, collect, and haul it away, leaving your lawn clean.

Dethatching grass exposes soil, making overseeding more successful and improving seed-to-soil contact.

Professional service timed for healthy recovery.
We provide lawn dethatching throughout Fredericton during peak growing seasons, typically late spring and early fall. This timing allows turf to recover quickly after power raking. We do not perform dethatching during summer heat or drought conditions, as it can stress grass crowns.

If the thatch layer is over ½ inch thick and water pools on the surface, dethatching is likely needed.
It can stress turf temporarily, which is why we only perform it during active growing seasons.
No. Power raking removes surface debris. Aeration relieves soil compaction underground.
Most lawns need it every few years, depending on grass type and organic buildup.
