Power raking slices surface stolons and stimulates new growth, which leads to a thicker lawn. It's a great way to remove the dead debris and crust that builds up on a lawn over winter. For best results, power raking is combined with overseeding, as it opens up the lawn surface so that new seeds can be better established. Dethatching, which removes considerably more thatch, is usually only recommended for lawns with a thatch layer greater than 3 inches, and it must be followed up with overseeding to fill in any thin patches created in the process. Consult with your local Nutri-Lawn professional to determine which procedure -- power raking or dethatching -- is best for your lawn.
