De-thatching (also known as “Power Raking”) is the process of mechanically removing excess thatch from the base of your lawn. It is a highly recommended lawn maintenance practice for its numerous direct and indirect benefits both to your lawn’s health but also the health of the ecology and your household budget!

Our Power Raking Service Process

After setting the de-thatching machine’s blades to the appropriate setting to pull up only thatch and not the grass from its roots, our technicians will perform the power raking service in 3 steps.

Step 1 – Pull Up the Thatch: The self-propelled motorized de-thatching machine is guided over the entire surface of the lawn. As our technician moves along, they leave behind fluffy trails of thatch.

Step 2 – Manual Raking: Once the entire lawn has been de-thatched, we will use a large fan rake to rake up the thatch/moss into piles.

Step 3 - Bagging: Using environmentally-friendly yard waste bags we will manually hand bag all of your thatch and place your bags in a spot of your choice for city pickup.

Please Note: Canadian Property Stars does not haul away the yard waste bags, so we recommend that they be placed in the garage or under some sort of shelter so that they are not soaked in the rain while waiting for garbage pick-up day. We are happy to place the enviro bags at any spot on your property or down by the street for pickup.
