What Is Thatch?
Thatch is a layer of dead grass stems, roots, and organic matter that builds up between the living grass and the soil.
A Little Thatch is Good:
-
Up to ½ inch of thatch helps:
● Insulate soil during extreme heat or drought
● Retain moisture
● Shield roots from sun damage
But Too Much Thatch is Harmful
-
Anything over ½ inch can:
● Block water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots
● Encourage insects, fungus, and disease
● Cause shallow root systems and overall lawn decline
