Thatching, sometimes also known as dethatching, can help improve your lawn’s health and give you the luscious lawn you want this spring. Thatch can be a serious lawn care problem and is, simply, a layer of living and dead organic matter; this mainly contains turf grass stems and roots that build up faster than nature can break them down. To avoid this, you can take preventative measures in protecting your lawn or if the damage has already been done, thatching your lawn is a great option.

What Does Thatching Do?

Thatching removes the dead layer of roots and stems that is found between the soil and grass. The thatch, when it is thicker than a half-inch, can prevent the absorption of oxygen, water, and other nutrients to the grass roots. Thatching is usually performed in the spring or fall by using power equipment when performing a lawn aeration.

Over time, the lines in your parking lot begin to fade and, as mentioned above, this could pose a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians alike. But faded parking lot line striping also sends the wrong message about your business. The way you take care of the exterior of your establishment speaks volumes about how you conduct business.The line marking in your parking lot is designed to guide drivers and pedestrians by directing the flow of traffic, alerting drivers to pedestrian crossings, and showing available parking spots.

Are some of the lanes one-way? Do you have areas where parking is not permitted? Is there a pedestrian crossing area? All of this needs to be clearly marked or else it could negatively affect the safety of everyone who visits your property.

As a commercial property owner, the safety of your visitors should be one of your top priorities. If someone is injured on your property because your parking lot was not properly maintained or the parking lot line striping caused confusion, you could be held liable for their medical bills, lost wages, or emotional trauma.
