       Dethatching rakes are used to remove harmful thatch build up or moss out of your lawn.  Thatch is composed of lawn debris, moss, and dead or unwanted grasses.  You can use a thatching rake to pull thatch out of the lawn without hurting the grass because they have very shallow roots.  Thatching can also help remove moss from grass and mulch beds.  The most common time to thatch is in the spring and fall because these are generally good times to over seed cool weather grasses, but thatching can be done year round.  When you have problems with heavy moss, it is probable a good idea to apply iron first and then use a thatch rake to remove the dead moss.
