Dethatching
Dethatching involves the removal of the matted layer of dead and decaying plant material between growing grass and the soil.

Is thatch bad for a lawn?

Yes. Too much thatch is not good. If left untreated, thatch can develop into a nearly impenetrable disease-harboring mat between grass and the soil. Thatch sounds scarier than it is, for it can be removed quickly and easily using a power rake machine. Once the initial thatch layer is removed, future problems can be avoided by following proper fertilizing and watering procedures.

    The service we received from 5S was quick, efficient and friendly. We had some changes and requests which were handed on the spot. The staff was very friendly, hardworking and very concerned about doing the job to our satisfaction. From the first phone call to the completion of the job, we are very satisfied.
