In this video I show you how to use a thatch or thatching rake (depending on what you want to call it) to dethatch the lawn. This is a specialized rake that works very well.

Sometimes I think, 30s isn't old yet. Then I find myself enjoying a lawn dethatching video

No ads. No begging for likes. Just a man sharing his passion.. this is how YouTube should be!! Huge thumbs up!

When I was a kid we didn't get supper till we did this to our lawn. That was 30 years ago and I still haven't eaten

I am a senior, and have been using one of these rakes for about 3 springs now. It is super easy to use, removes a ton of thatch, and I can do it for hours without getting sore muscles.

Found one at an estate sale. My friends and I refer to it as the “Death Rake.” I have designated it my preferred zombie apocalypse melee weapon

Great voice on the video. Thank you for not yelling at me. I love videos where people just talk softly and provide good info. I can tell you have a great camera too.

I was skeptical about thatching my lawn, but after watching this video I immediately went down to Home Depot and bought a thatching rake and I also picked up one of those guys in the parking lot looking for work. Thatching my lawn was easier than I thought.

Best "101" video on thatch rake education.

Just got one of these and tried it in random parts of my yard. Pretty sure 98% of my lawn is thatch 😂

Thanks! I always wondered what the weird shaped rake in my garage was for. Now I know.. time to get to work.

Thank you for this video. I almost tore up my lawn, but your video saved it!

Best music I have heard on the majority of other YouTube videos. The video was also brief and informative. Thank you for sharing.

I bought a Craftsman one from Lowe's to remove overgrown weeds and roots from my yard. So far it's done its job. Tedious work and a good workout to say the least.

Thank you for this clear explanation about the use of rakes. My lawn has become kind of spongy so I need to dethatch it. Found this video and solved my question on how to do it. Cheers!

Bought one of these rakes and did half the yard today. This thing is great. Thanks for the awesome video.

I found one of these and I walk around the hood with it. Im safe now and no one bothers me. Thanks.

Great video! I bought a thatching rake years ago but never liked using it because I wasn't doing it right! Can't wait to get out there and do my lawn! Thank you!

[stephenmcallister]

i was gonna buy an electric one. but considering i have a smaller yard and enjoy the physical work. (and cheaper) i bought one of these. love it!

[jeffreynichol]

I just bought one in preparation of the upcoming fall overseeding. I can’t wait to try it.

Thanks for the video, I had made the decision/mistake to rake dethatch my yard I didn't realize how labor intensive it was and have about a half a football field to take care of. I've always had a lot of respect for people who do professional yard work and have even more as I slowly work over my own yard.
