dethatchers
Turf debris removers
Dethatchers are machines or tools that remove thatch—the layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that accumulates between soil and living lawn.
Power dethatchers use rotating blades or tines to cut through and pull up this matted material: We rented dethatchers in spring to revive the lawn.
Manual versions resemble heavy rakes with curved blades.
