Clear the clutter, uncover a healthier lawn.
Underneath every lawn is a layer of dead grass, moss, and organic debris called thatch, and when it builds up too thick, it chokes out the healthy growth happening above it. Jim's Mowing's power raking and dethatching service strips that layer away, giving your lawn a clean slate to grow from.
Help your lawn breathe easier. Book a dethatching visit with your local Jim's Mowing team.We start with a proper assessment of your lawn's thatch layer and overall condition before bringing in professional-grade power raking equipment to do the heavy lifting. The process pulls out built-up thatch, dead grass, and matted moss, opening the soil back up to air, water, and nutrients that had been sitting just out of reach.
Moss is one of the biggest reasons Canadian homeowners call us for this service. A thick moss layer can smother healthy grass and hold moisture against the soil in ways that make the problem worse over time. Power raking breaks that cycle, and every job wraps up with a full cleanup so your yard isn't left covered in debris.
Dethatching tends to work best as part of a bigger recovery plan, so your local franchisee may suggest pairing it with aeration to ease compaction, lime to manage pH and moss regrowth, or overseeding and topdressing to fill in bare patches once the old thatch is gone.

"Trustworthy and reliable service. Rolf provided lawn and yard care for my elderly parents’ home in North Delta. He was friendly and took the time to explain things to my dad so he felt like he was part of the process. His work was impeccable and his prices were always fair.
My parents have recommended him to all of their neighbours, all of whom are equally happy. I feel good knowing my parents will be well-treated and never ripped off."

"I would like to thank Sam Pavlis from Jim’s mowing for the creative design and implementation of a landscape plan that now graces our beautiful backyard!
We had the pleasure of meeting and working with Sam, landscape designer extraordinaire, to create a landscape that would be practical and easy to maintain. Sam was easy to work with and created a proposal that exceeded our expectations. He was flexible to comments and/or proposed changes in designs & plantings and offered explanations and rational for the choices made—all which suited our needs."
Most lawns only need dethatching once a year, typically in spring or fall, though lawns with heavy moss or a history of neglect may benefit from it more often. Your local franchisee can check your thatch layer and recommend timing.
They're closely related: dethatching removes the layer of dead grass and organic debris sitting on top of the soil, while power raking is a more aggressive version that also helps break up moss and matted growth. We package both together so your lawn gets whichever level of clean-out it needs.
