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.

Any danger of pulling roots out? Seems aggressive.

@dezdtroia9920 2 месяца назад

Any reason to set to dig deeper? Can this rake scarify safely

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

@BradKuse Год назад

Agreed. I was audibly confused and then visibly relaxed when the prevideo commercial was missing. And, who knew a dethatching soundtrack could slap so hard?

@prestonberg9604 4 года назад

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

@gwangione9406 4 года назад

You got that right. It did not take me long to figure out why my Dad always turned this project over to my brother and me. I would rake my arms off for what seemed like hours and only cover a small section.

@bubbalo3388 3 года назад

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.

@mikedunn7795 2 года назад

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.

@williamcordier1201 4 года назад

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

@kraptastic333 3 месяца назад

It's all about the Pulaski tool or battery pole saw :))

@stevelindsay9031 3 года назад

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

@buttercatz99 3 года назад

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.

@marionmorrison293 3 года назад

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!

@WaynePilot 4 года назад

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!

@PrincernPrince 3 года назад

Knowledge is king. I've had this rake for 20 years handed down and never knew what it was for. Now I'm using it to touch up where the power rake missed some low spots and it works amazingly well and without really putting any real muscle into it. Thanks!

@ohrate 4 года назад

Really useful video. Thanks. I’ve just bought one of these for some ‘lockdown’ garden maintenance so looking forward to giving it a go.

@wingsunfurl7030 Год назад

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

@wajihak1506 2 года назад

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

@jeffreynichol671 3 года назад

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

@speway 5 лет назад

Awesome vid! Concise yet full of information about adjustment, design, technique and before and after. Well done.

@deanw7044 4 года назад

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

@deanw7044 3 года назад

Ace harware 36 dollars.

@Stephen-wh7vl 4 года назад

This is actually helpful. I purchased a thatch rake last week to do a leveling project and was using it completely wrong. Lol still worked pretty good though.

@DiGitALBLoOdyRC 4 года назад

Just got the same rake. Thanks for taking the time to show how to use it properly.

@morseapple556 4 месяца назад

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.

@katiedilullo2924 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. I have never owned a lawn and saw a lot of overlapping dead grass. Used your technique and it has helped my lawn !

@Eric19401 3 года назад

Thanks for the demo. I went to Home Depot and got the same thatching rake; I can't believe the amount of thatch I've removed from my lawn.

@thomthom0165 7 лет назад

Great info, thank you. I've been spending a ton of time cleaning my rake with the old clippings every couple of feet. I never thought to just keep going back and forth and let it clean itself out. I also never knew that you could adjust the de-thatching rake for how deep you want to go into the lawn.

@ryanknorrlawncare 7 лет назад

Glad the video could help out! Thanks for watching.

@Cooligan69 3 года назад

Thanks. Just bought one today and wasn’t quite sure how to use it. Amazing the amount of thatch I’m pulling out of my yard.

@richsalvati3128 4 года назад

Great simple video. I plan on buying one and wearing myself out this weekend while prepping for seed. Thanks for the tips on the adjustments.

@LifeHappens2 5 лет назад

@danatassler8776 4 года назад

As always, a very simple and informative video. Thanks!

@picklemat4619 4 года назад

thanks, I just get one and I used it and because my grass has runners it took a lot of the grass up. but I did some more and I think I had it and it seemed better but now I'll be dethatching like a pro now.

@funkydunky1 7 лет назад

I did my 10000 sq ft with that rake and it took me around 2 weeks. Quite the workout! I used it when i was killing off my bermuda last year to pull up the surface runners and make it easier to scalp. That was minimal levels of fun.

@ryanknorrlawncare 7 лет назад

That sounds like a ton of work for sure.

@Cfazio76 5 лет назад

I just did 10k sq ft in 12 hours. Never again.

@dhubertv 5 лет назад

Funky Dunky 1 spent $80 and rented a power rake, detached 10ksqft in 40mins, then a couple hours to hand rake and pick up the piles. Best $80 I spent all summer!

@farero08 7 лет назад

Thanks for showing how the two sides of the rake differ for different uses!

@ryanknorrlawncare 7 лет назад

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

@NorKal530 3 года назад

Great video. I'm gonna buy one tomorrow for my lawn. Can't wait to use it.

@Crazy-Chicken-Media 3 года назад

Thank you just picked one up, now off to do some lawn care.

@Scraps4kali Год назад

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

@antoniomontana9430 Год назад

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.

@lynnestephens6776 5 лет назад

Very nice presentation. He would do well in television.

@eriksuarez631 3 года назад

Didn't know why my grass was so yello even with alot of watering and fertilizing. Then i realized that the dead grass underneath was choking my lawn.

@CF-Gaming01 5 лет назад

I have around 80sq ft. The UK has small gardens however I found a regular rake does the job just as good

@atuckertucker Год назад

Thanks for not having commercials!

@stephenmcallister2169 2 года назад

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!

@bobanderson1906 4 года назад

Hi, I've only got a small lawn, not big enough to justify an electric scarifier, this looks ideal for my needs, my local B&Q store has one in stock, I'm on my way. Great video, thanks.

@Sensiper 3 года назад

@anthonygee6805 5 лет назад

Great for small lawns and hard to reach area's but electric or petrol scarifier will save you so much time it's the bagging that takes time, great vid

@allan3368 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the video. My lawn is full of dead grass blades this Spring and I was trying to remove it by pressing really hard with a normal leaf ake, which was hardly working. I had heard of thatching rakes, but thought they woold pull out the grass by the roots. I'm not looking forward to doing it, buyt I see that many people commented that they enjoyed doing it.

@uTubed007 7 лет назад

The thatch rake is great to take care of Creeping Charlies or other ground ivies

@ryanknorrlawncare 7 лет назад

Good to know!

@LuisLarreaJr 5 лет назад

I wouldn't say it's good for that, but it's a necessary step to exposing the vines. Creeping Charlies seem to be one of these easiest vine plant to get rid of but they sprawl fast.

@50Champagne50 5 лет назад

We call this one the widow raker.!

@TheStratSoldier 3 года назад

Ha! The music is pretty epic compared to what you are teaching us. Haha. I love it. Now I have Groove to jam too while I dethatch

@stumpmonkey7068 3 года назад

I used a standard fan rake and it did a good job, but good lord it took a while.

@PendragonDaGreat 4 года назад

Front lawn is a hill and also like 50% moss now. Moss is dying thanks to moss-b-gone. I really hope this'll help pull the dead moss and spongy thatch layer out. I can't really get a mechanized tool because hill, a walk behind mower is sketchy enough as it is.

@deniserezabek4665 4 года назад

Thank you, I have a rake and I didn't know that it could be adjusted. I think once I adjust it, It will be easier to thatch. When is the best season to thatch?

@lisah6076 3 года назад

When is it a good time to thatch? I put winterize on already. I was wondering can I do it before or during the leaves on the grass.

@sotoliriano 2 месяца назад

I should’ve watched this before trying it for the first time. First, I didn’t adjust the rake and second I definitely tried to muscle it. I’m hurting lol

@davidd9045 5 лет назад

How do you think your SunJoe dethatcher does compared the rake?

@MinibiteTran 6 лет назад

Very clear information, I will get one today my lawn soooo ugly 😆👍

@ryanknorrlawncare 6 лет назад

Glad to help.

@jal316 6 лет назад

D'oh! I should've watched this earlier. I was using the rake with the curved side on the tines. I don't think I did much damage. I got mostly dead stuff and I planted the stolons with roots that it pulled in the dead areas.

@DavidKnowles 3 года назад

I'm just starting to get my lawns under control and wondered what's wrong with using a normal rake? I did my back lawn with a normal rake and it worked fine. Yours curiously, D.
