Product Information

Please note: for some larger items you may need to arrange for a forklift truck or similar machinery to move your item to its required location. Because lawn-care professionals have the equipment to do this work quickly, it may make sense to simply hire someone to do this work, especially if you're already hiring professionals to do other seasonal lawn-care work, such as core aeration. This attachment must be used in conjunction with the SCH 60" Heavy Duty 3 Point Linkage Carrier Frame (Ref: P3F) which can be purchased separately (see related items below).

The wheels add stability and maneuverability, making for an easier time dethatching and removing moss.g. Ride On lawn movers, Rollers, Chippers etc) will sometimes incur an additional charge due to their weight and the specialist offloading equipment required. Thatch is a mix of dead and living plant material that blocks or traps water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. It's true that both scarifying and dethatching can be used to remove debris from the surface of the soil, but the key difference between the two methods is the intensity. In general, you only need to dethatch a lawn every two to three years, as thatch builds up over time.

If you're trying to care for your lawn in the best way possible, then it's important you know the difference between scarifying, raking and dethatching. This tool looks much like an iron rake, but each of the tines is very thin and sharp,” says Bob Mann, an agronomist and lawn care expert who works for the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Annual vigorous raking with a manual rake is a much better option than the potential damage caused when a power rake tears into a thick thatch layer. Thatch not only ruins the aesthetics of your lawn but also creates a hospitable environment for insects, hinders water penetration, and obstructs the growth of new grass. You should not overlook the importance of dealing with problematic thatch because the long-term health of your grass hinges on dethatching.Dethatching a lawn is not a complicated project, but it can be time-consuming and hard physical work, especially if it is a large lawn, the thatch layer is very thick, and dethatching hasn't been done for many years. But if the thatch layer is more than an inch thick, it’s preventing much-needed water and nutrients from reaching the roots.
