Power Rake in Fort McMurray
Over time, lawns naturally build up a layer of thatch — a mix of dead grass, roots, and debris that sits just above the soil. Too much thatch prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots and can suffocate your grass.
At Grass Doctor, our professional power raking service uses specialized equipment to gently remove thatch buildup without damaging healthy turf. The result is a revitalized lawn that can better absorb fertilizer, water, and oxygen — setting the stage for stronger, greener growth all season long.
