Green Team Denver provides only the highest quality of service and uses the highest quality products when it comes to servicing your property. Since our company’s inception we have tested and challenged a variety of practices and have developed a list of best practices that have yielded exceptional results for our Colorado lawns. Here is a list of best practices that we have put into place and are a part of our Full Service Lawn Care package:

 

1. Dethatching – Dethatching also known as power raking is the process of removing dead grass from your lawn which enables proper flow of essential nutrients, water, and air flow.

Green Team Denver dethatches using a machine that lightly drags tines through your grass therefore loosening and bringing to the surface and dead debris. The result after dethatching is healthy grass ready to grow unhindered and ready to accept the essentials is requires.

 

2. Scarification – Although scary sounding, scarification has amazing positive affects on your lawn. Some of these affects include increasing absorption of water, nutrients, and air into the soil as well as encouraging healthy movement of micro-organisms in the top soil layer.

Like dethatching it also has the benefits of removing dead grass thatch and preventing diseases and mold issues. So what is scarification? Green Team Denver uses a machine similar to the dethatcher but instead of tines dragging across the ground a scarifier uses a thin set of blades to slice through the very top layer of soil, typically only a few centimeters deep.

Once fully recovered lawn are seen to be more dense, greener, and more resilient to the harsh elements of Colorado summers.
