Thatch build-up has some very local causes across the region — here’s what our crews look for.
Warm, damp Bay of Plenty conditions build thatch faster than drier regions further south, wherever you are in the region.
Vigorous, fast-spreading grasses like kikuyu and couch shed more organic matter that can mat down.
Free-draining sandy soils near the coast can still trap thatch at the surface, while richer inland soils around Te Puke hold on to it just as easily.
Late spring through summer, while lawns across the Bay are actively growing, is usually the best window to dethatch and recover.
