Is Thatch Harming Your Lawn? A Simple Guide To Manage It

Thatch is a layer of dead grass, roots, and organic matter that builds up between the soil and living grass. While a thin layer can be beneficial, too much thatch can prevent water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots, harming your lawn’s health. Signs of excess thatch include spongy grass and dry patches. To manage it, use a rake or dethatching machine to remove the build-up. Aerating your lawn also helps break down thatch naturally. Regular mowing, watering, and proper fertilising can prevent future thatch build-up and keep your lawn lush and green.
