Lawn Dethatching Services on Martha’s Vineyard
Professional Thatch Removal for Healthier, Stronger, Island-Resilient Lawns
Excess thatch is one of the most common causes of unhealthy lawns on the Island. Infinity Landscaping Inc. provides professional lawn dethatching on Martha’s Vineyard, using proven power-raking and dethatching techniques to restore airflow, water penetration, and nutrient absorption for both residential and commercial properties.
From compact residential lawns to large, high-traffic commercial landscapes, our dethatching programs are tailored to Island turf types, soil conditions, and seasonal timing.
What Is Lawn Thatch—and Why It Matters
Thatch is a natural byproduct of turf growth, but when it exceeds healthy levels, it creates problems such as:
Poor water penetration
Reduced nutrient absorption
Shallow root systems
Increased disease and pest pressure
Patchy, stressed turf
Professional dethatching:
✔ Removes excess organic buildup
✔ Restores soil contact
✔ Improves drainage and airflow
✔ Encourages deeper root growth
✔ Enhances overall turf performance
Dethatching is a corrective service that resets lawn health.
