On todays episode we take a lawn that has too much mulch in the lawn.

It's important to start with a short mow to help remove the top layers of the grass and minimize lawn tearing.

5 Steps DIY How to Power rake or De Thatch your lawn

Step 1
Determine the height of the power rake. Start at the highest setting and take one pass and check for scalping. If there is no scalping move down a notch and do it again.

Step 2
Power rake and cleanup. Run the power rake the same as you would the mower without overlapping passes.

Step 3
Power rake the opposite direction or crosshatch and cleanup the debris

Step 4
Spot de thatch using a thatch rake. There's a chance that in some areas the power rake will not remove all the debris. In those areas its important to manually remove the debris using a thatch rake.

Step 5
Recovery fertilizer. Early spring I use ammonium sulfate at 1lbs nitrogen per 1000ft2
