Dethatching services in Pittsburgh is necessary to promote soil growth. When you have a healthy thatch, you will have healthy soil and a beautiful lawn. JBirds Dethatching service will help you to achieve this. A dethatcher can be powered or manual. A manual version is very, very heavy. It is run across a lawn just like a mower, in vertical rows. You can also dethatch with a special dethatching rake, or your basic garden spike. The basic idea is to get in to the ground, deeply and vigorously. No matter how the dethatching is done, it stresses the lawn and many people, immediately over seed and fertilize the lawn immediately following the job. This is a lot of work.
