Spring Cleanup: Power Raking Without Hurting Your Lawn!

It's the end of April, and it's time to remove the dead, winter-killed grass and debris from the lawn! I'm performing my annual power raking (or dethatching) using a gentle scarifying attachment on my reel mower.

The trick is to remove only the dead material while leaving the new, green grass undamaged. This helps promote growth and removes debris that can cause fungus later in the season.

In this video, you'll learn:

Timing is Key: Why late April is the perfect time for this annual cleanup.

Pre-Emergent Safety: How to power rake just days after a pre-emergent application without ruining your weed barrier.

The "Aggression Trick": The exact technique for setting your machine's height to gently scrape the dead material without tearing up live grass.

The Bonus Clean-Up: How this attachment helps clear rocks, nails, and other debris that can destroy a reel mower blade.

Tool Talk: Comparing this gentle scarifier to traditional, more aggressive power rakes.

Watch to see how much debris I remove and why this is a crucial step in preparing your cool-season lawn for a beautiful summer!
