Lawn thatch is the layer of lifeless turf grass material between the grass and the soil that should be eliminated in order to preserve your lawn’s health.
Lawn thatch is derived from grass clippings, roots, and other debris.
An excessive thatch layer can restrict the movement of air, water, fertilizer and other materials to the roots.
