Pros and Cons of Lawn Thatching

  • Healthy levels of thatching helps maintain soil temperature for roots and protects against damage due to extremes of temperature.
  • Proper thatching maintains soil moisture and nutrients.
  • Good thatching can help provide strength and resiliency for grass that receives lots of foot traffic from people and animals.
  • Over-thatched lawns leads to rapid root development in the thatched layer, which can lead to desiccation during hot temperatures and root rot in damp conditions.
  • Overly-thatched lawns have more trouble holding onto proper moisture and nutrients.
  • Thickly thatched lawns provide ideal habitats for insects and other pests that could be damaging to the garden or people and animals.
