Of all the plants, trees, and shrubs in your landscape, the lawn is the most demanding feature, requiring constant maintenance throughout the growing season to look its best. So when it doesn’t, despite your best efforts, you need to look a little deeper. Literally!
Thatch, which comprises living and dead material, accumulates naturally at the base of grass where the blades meet the soil. Mulched leaves and short grass clippings tend to decompose quickly. The problem occurs when the buildup of these materials outpaces decomposition and the thatch layer thickens. The thicker the layer, the more difficult it becomes for water, nutrients, and air to reach grass roots. When this happens, the lawn suffers and it’s time to dethatch.

DESCRIBE A POSITIVE THING A FAMILY MEMBER HAS DONE FOR YOU.
Most recently, my sister-in-law dropped everything and came to house sit with Scamp (our Corgi) for 4 days in March when my wife and I took a short vacation. We’re not big fans of kenneling him, so the worry was gone knowing she was there taking care of the house and our pup! That’s really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her positive influence on our lives.
