After reading a few reviews at other sites, I went out immediately to get one at my local hardware store. Despite not dethatching my grass for four years, it works quite well. I imagine with less thatch, that one could zoom through their yard. The thatching side works great and it does seem to work best when you use short and quick strokes. The otherside is meant for raking the thatch away, this works very smoothly. All in all, I'd say it's a good design and well worth the money and effort if you enjoy your yardwork.

I am trying to bring my lawn back to a pristine state after many years of gardeners who just do the basics, cut the grass and leave. So I'm educating myself as to how to maintain the lawn, besides fertilizer and watering correctly. I was having more run off of the water than I liked rather then penetrating the soil and roots. A friend looked over my lawn and showed me how much dead matter that won't decompose actually is sitting on top of the soil, but hidden by the grass. He then explained the need for thatching. There are alternatives other than this rake, but they are very heavy and expensive equipment. The first pass I made on a small 3'x5' patch of lawn brought up a large mound of dead brown dead grass and weeds, I was amazed. The first time you use this rake it is a bit on the hard work side, but afterwords on follow ups like prior to fertilizing it is much easier since the years of accumulation are gone. Use this rake right after cutting the lawn and you will find you aren't tangling up and pulling out some of the good grass too often. My run off problem disappeared and the lawn is much healthier. This rake is very sturdy, made well and works as described.

I've had this for about a year. Talk about thatch! I've lived here six years and it's only when I got this rake that I started getting serious about dethatching. A lawn rake doesn't cut it. It was tough at first because I have so much thatch and lumpy grass. But the more I use it the easier it gets. I've adjusted it so it goes deep. It's great for tilling soil.I just took out some hedges and tilled and planted grass seed. I have hard soil but it cut through it like butter. Grass is starting to come back up because water can actually go down and be absorbed by grass, not thatch and old leaves. Every time I mow I dethatch more buid up and groom. Having lumpy grass that's starting to fill up once bare patches that's when the blisters come, but on already semi dethatched grass, it goes through very well and I don't have to yank so hard. I've discovered it's best to do it after mowing.Grass that's not deeply rooted it does yank it up. This is a great product. Next to my pruning shears, this product is my second favorite gardening tool.

Thatcher rake
Its hard work. But the results are worth it. You cant take out the dead grass with any other rake this gets most if it.

Dethatch Rake
This rake works great in removing the thatch. It was a little easier to use than other ones I have used. I think the longer handle might be part of the reason. It arrived quickly. Read more

Good dethatcher, but adjustment screws need frequent tightening
Pulled out loads of thatch... Very pleased. The adjustment screws need a lot of tightening as the rake head slips from its adjustment frequently.

Not Good!
Tines are so soft that they are always bending sidewise. Not made for scratching very hard as you'll be spending a lot of time straightening out the tines as you work. Read more

Great tool!
I like things that work! One side pulls up the dead thatch, the other side gathers it quickly. Use the straight blades to dethatch and the flared blades to rake it up. Read more

Great for Small Patches
This thatch rake is great for SMALL spots. If you plan on doing an entire yard, go rent a machine. It takes a LOT of effort to use this rake on Augustine grass in Texas. Read more
