Power Raking In Winnipeg
When your lawn is covered in a thick layer of thatch, it can’t get the nutrients it needs to grow healthy and strong. By using a power rake, the team at All Around Property Maintenance can eliminate thick layers of thatch, giving your lawn the breathing room it needs to thrive.
Our power raking services are offered throughout Winnipeg and the surrounding area, both as a standalone service and as a part of our spring cleanup and fall cleanup services.
Why Should I Power Rake My Lawn?
The point of power raking is to remove thatch from your lawn. Thatch is a dense, tightly woven layer of dead and living stems, leaves, and grass roots; the thatch layer forms between actively growing grass and the soil below.
Thatch is natural, and some thatch is actually good for your lawn; it can increase its resistance to stressors like foot traffic. An excessive thatch layer, on the other hand, causes problems. When your thatch layer is more than ½” to ¾” (13 mm to 19 mm) thick, it can cause a number of different problems. Thatch can:

Power raking removes excess thatch from your lawn, alleviating all the problems caused by thatch. By removing thatch, other lawn care services also become more effective. Lawn aeration, fertilizing, and overseeding all work best on a lawn that has already been power-raked.
When You Should Power Rake Your Lawn
Most lawns in Winnipeg need to be power-raked at least once a year, though there are exceptions. The cool-season grasses on most Winnipeg lawns, like Kentucky bluegrass, are prone to developing thick layers of thatch requiring power raking.
There are several signs that your lawn may need to be power raked, including:

When you have too much thatch, your lawn can quickly lose access to important nutrients; lawn care in general becomes more difficult. By power raking when thatch becomes overgrown, you make it that much easier to care for your lawn.
When You Should Get Power Raking Services
Typically, you should power rake in early fall, when thatch buildup tends to be at its peak. Fall is also one of the best times to overseed your lawn, and power raking before you overseed can help the seeds reach fertile soil.
We also offer our Winnipeg power raking service as part of our spring cleanup services. Beyond eliminating excess thatch, power raking can help clear leaves, twigs, and other materials left over from winter.
Power raking as part of your spring lawn care service can also make lawn aeration, overseeding, and fertilizing more effective, all of which can help your lawn grow thicker, greener, and healthier for the rest of the year.

Dethatching Vs. Power Raking
Many lawn care companies use the terms dethatching and power raking interchangeably, but that’s not quite accurate. Power raking may be the most popular method of dethatching, but there are a number of other ways to dethatch a lawn, including:
Our company opts for power raking when dealing with serious thatch buildup. Mild thatch buildup is typically not a concern. Using fertilizer and topsoil to promote the growth of healthy grass and improve the microbial makeup of soil can help your lawn naturally break down the thatch layer.
