Remove thatch from your lawn to support healthy grass growth and improved soil conditions. Pull the thatching rake through spongy areas of your lawn to slice up and drag out the dead and dried grass that has matted the soil. This collected thatch can be composted or used as mulch, although it may contain grass seed.

Thatch is a layer of undigested roots, leaves, and organic plant material that settles between the turfgrass and the soil surface. It forms as a result of the natural process of grass growth and decay. In a balanced lawn ecosystem, microorganisms like fungi and bacteria help break down this organic matter, recycling it back into the soil as valuable nutrients.
