The best time to dethatch is late summer or early fall. That's when your grass is growing most vigorously. Before dethatching, mow a little shorter than normal. Also, you'll achieve better results if you do it after a light rain or watering.
Spring cleaning for the yard and garden. Make your hard work count this spring. Spring is here and with it comes the opportunity to get outdoors and tackle those chores that have been waiting for you all winter. If youÂ´ve lost plants or shrubs during the winter, now is the time to add new plantings. If you want to redesign plantings, the spring is the best time to put your new garden plans into action. The following spring checklist should help. Mid- to late March is the time to scalp or dethatch warm season lawns. This practice should be done only if there is a thatch problem. Yearly practice of these methods without reason can cause potential stress to a lawn. Otherwise mow at 1.5 inches for zoysia or 0.75 inches for hybrid Bermuda through May.
