Question 1

What is detaching (déchaumage)?

Accepted Answer

Dethatching consists of removing thatch (roots, grass, leaves, etc.) accumulated on the lawn to allow better penetration of water and nutrients into the soil.

Question 2

What is aeration (aération)?

Accepted Answer

Aeration, also called coring, is a mechanical process that involves removing soil cores from the ground to loosen it. This decompressed soil drains and aerates better, allowing grass to root deeply, making it more resistant to stresses like drought, heat, insects, and weeds. Aeration can be done in spring and fall.

Question 3

Why is leaf removal (ramassage des feuilles) important?

Accepted Answer

In autumn, it's advisable to remove dead leaves from the lawn not only for aesthetic reasons. A lawn covered with leaves can suffocate, lack sunlight, and develop diseases in the spring.

Question 4

What is included in the lawn mowing service (tonte de pelouse)?
