I really need to dethatch to get a better idea about it, though.



What's all this about? Seemed like a northern thing when I was looking at new blades for my lawnmower on Amazon.

Set hatching really depends on what type of lawn to determine the importance of dethatching. I have centipede sod that is roughly 2 months old and just like all new sod you have spots of thatching.

Basically, it's like a comb that you run over your yard. It pulls out most of the dead undergrowth or thatch. You really don't need it if you have decent grass. My yard is a mixture of trash that the developer planted. The St. Augustine is slowing taking over, though.

I'll start sodding once I finally get the damn yard leveled and draining properly.
