Lawn Dethatching, Aeration and Overseeding
Lawn Dethatching
​
Thatch is one of the biggest threats to a homeowner’s lawn. Thatch is organic matter consisting of intermingled leaves, roots, and living and dead stems. Thatch buildup can cause lawn problems, including moss growth and create a breeding ground for diseases and harmful insects. But there’s a solution: lawn dethatching.
​
Lawn dethatching involves using a mechanical lawn dethatcher to remove a thick layer of excessive thatch. It’s a highly labor-intensive task that requires several passes in different directions. Performing this maintenance brings up enough thatch to help reduce the risk of lawn issues. But, this is one job that is best left to the professionals.
​
Fortunately, Twin Palms Landscapes lawn dethatching service can save you from the hassle of renting a lawn dethatcher and the time that goes into dethatching properly. Our trained landscape professionals are ready to help your lawn stay healthy, neat, and attractive!

The changing seasons can take a toll on your lawn. Maintaining and caring for it will guarantee that it stays lush and beautiful through the seasons. Lawn aeration is an important practice that benefits almost all lawns. We at Twin Palms Landscapes recommend aerating your lawn annually, and we offer expert lawn aeration services to make it easy for you.
The process involves using a lawn aerator to puncture the soil with small holes. These holes in the soil allow air and water to penetrate the grass roots, improving soil drainage and encouraging microflora, microfauna, and worms that require oxygen. When you aerate your lawn, it enhances grass growth and has many other benefits that keep your lawn looking lush and healthy.

Lawn Overseeding
Overseeding helps fill in bare spots or, when applied to the entire yard, improve the overall density of your existing lawn. Spring or fall are the best seasons for overseeding because the seed has time to become established in the soil, and isn’t stressed from foot traffic, drought, or pests. Our fall and spring lawn overseeding services work in tandem with our lawn aeration services. Lawn aeration and overseeding work well together because the holes from aeration provide the seed with a perfect spot to germinate and grow.
