Really.... as in one rakes up dead thatch, with prong like equipment, and then removed, and other one pulls plugs every so many inches out of the lawn, and left to decompose.

My family owns commercial lawn and snow removal I actually know the difference. Our preowned lawn had been neglected for over a year. We asked Adam to Evaluate whether detached would work since dethatch is not usually done on sand based turf. Adam told us that an aerate would work better, within two weeks we had a big difference in the lawn. He also top dress with black cow. We use Deans for monthly maintenance.

I trust is ability to decide what to do with our lawn. We’ve been using Adam since 2010.
