The Thatching Rake is an essential lawn care tool. Designed with 20 sturdy metal teeth and a 14-3/4” head, it efficiently removes thatch—a layer of dead grass, roots, and debris that blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching your soil.

Why Use a Thatching Rake?

Thatching rakes are specifically designed to:

• Remove dead grass, roots, and debris
• Improve soil aeration
• Promote healthy grass growth
• Smooth uneven surfaces

Unlike leaf rakes for collecting leaves or bow rakes for heavy debris, thatching rakes target the thatch layer for better lawn health.

Rake Components

1. Handle: Hardwood or fiberglass for strength and comfort.
2. Head: Metal, houses the teeth for debris removal.
3. Teeth: Fixed or adjustable for effective thatch penetration.

Some models include a collection bag or tray to gather leaves and debris efficiently.
