Product Information

The head of a dethatching rake consists of the dethatcher tines and a frame that holds them. A dethatcher rake head varies in width from between 13 and 15 inches. The wider the head, the more thatch the rake is able to pull up with a single pass. Different rakes serve different roles. And choosing the right rake for the job is crucial to getting the job done. In addition, it makes it easier to complete the task. Its design makes this possible: it's a two-sided rake with sharp, vertical 0r curved, thin blades that effectively break thatch between turf, loosening it and making removing it more manageable.

Remember that thatch helps protect your lawn from temperature extremes. Warm-season grasses need the protection that thatch provides to survive cold winters, and cool-season grasses are less susceptible to hot weather when they have a thin layer of thatch. Signs Your Lawn Needs DethatchingRun the rake - first, hold the rake like you would hold a vacuum.

The wide design and hook shape of the tines of this dethatching rake from Wolf-Garten makes it one of the best tools for pulling dead grass out of a suffocated yard. The hook-shaped tines dig into thatch, so it is easier to pull up. However, the tines are thin enough so that they exact minimal damage to healthy grass while doing so.Wolf-Garten’s Dethatching Rake will smoothly roll around your lawn while combing through tough thatch. The wheels add stability and maneuverability, making for an easier time dethatching and removing moss. Plus, the wheels keep the blades at a consistent height throughout the process. It is worth noting that the rolling rake head is sold separately from the Wolf-Garten universal long handle. Removing thatch from turf is a lot easier when using a thatching rake. And this step-by-step guide will help you do it successfully. The tines are the metal prongs that extend from the dethatching rake. Unlike a leaf rake that has wide tines to snag leaves, a dethatching rake’s tines are thinner with a pointy tip that allows it to pull up dead grass without doing significant damage to the soil and healthy grass. The rake’s tines are also curved so that they bite into the thatch. If you need to dethatch a small yard or a patch of lawn, a dethatching rake is the best option if you’re up for a vigorous upper-body workout. However, to remove a dense thatch layer across a large yard, you should opt for a tow-behind rake, which is a lawn mower attachment hitched to a small tractor or riding lawn mower.
