Power raking is when a machine with rotating tines or blades is used to:
The purpose of power raking is to create ideal growing conditions for the bare areas of the lawn, which will need to be overseeded once the moss has been removed.

Dethatching with a power rake must be done with extreme care, as the intense vibration and movement of the power rake can damage the roots of the lawn, leaving it vulnerable to disease and insects.
If power raking is done incorrectly, such as when the machine is set too low or the blades are dull, it can cause damage to the crowns of the grass or even kill the grass. The machine must be at the recommended depth, and the blades must be sharp to minimize any damage to the grass.
Fortunately, the trained professionals here at Weed Man know how to be tough on thatch and easy on your grass.
The best time of year for power raking is in the early spring or fall, and following a moss control application.
However, that’s not the only time to do it. If you think your lawn needs a power raking or dethatching, start by finding the Weed Man in your area to book a consultation.
