Thatch is a layer of built-up organic material (grass clippings and dead roots) between the top growth of grass and the root system. Too much thatch can create a barrier that keeps moisture and air from reaching the roots, stunting your lawn's health. A tine dethatcher uproots dead grass and large clippings, as well as dislodges compact dirt for better planting. Use the Brinly 48-inch tow-behind dethatcher in the spring and fall to help gently remove the thatch that can harm your grass. Once thatch is pulled to the surface, it can be easily mulched or collected. The ideal tractor attachment for large yards, the working width extracts thatch in 48-inch-wide swaths. The unique inline transport wheels easily cross paved areas, minimize footprint width, and facilitate leveling. While raking your yard can be back-breaking and time-consuming work, using the Brinly Pull-Behind Dethatcher cuts job time and lets you get back to your weekend.
