Default Lawn Thatching

I hired Adams to thatch my Zoisia grass lawn. They use a riding mower with a low mower deck that is supposed to suck up the thatch. The process cut the grass real short (ground level)and picked up some of the top thatch, but not the embedded thatch.
The minimum fee was $60 for three dumps from the grass catcher and $20 for each additional dump. My observation was that 1/2 of the of the dumps was from cutting the grass down to ground level.
In my previous lawn thatching I rented a thatcher from Home Depot that thatched the lawn down to the dirt. Opporating the thatcher was easy. It was work raking, bagging and disposing the thatch, but this procee did a better job.
