What is a Dethatcher and what does it do to your lawn?

Simply described, a dethatcher is a machine that eliminates thatch from your lawn effectively. For commercial jobs, a dethatcher can be as basic as a rake towed behind your tractor, or it might be motorised.
A dethatcher combs over the grass using metal blades or tines, pulling thatch up to the lawn’s surface.

Should I scarify or aerate?

When contemplating both aerating and scarifying, it’s best to scarify first, then aerate—but wait a few days between the two to give your grass a chance to recuperate before repeating the process.

Is it true that aeration is preferable to dethatching?

They both let vital nutrients such as fertiliser, water, and oxygen reach your lawn’s root zone, allowing it to develop and thrive.
Aeration, on the other hand, causes compacted soil to break down, whilst dethatching removes layers of thatch (dead grass and other detritus) from the top of the soil.
