If the lawn feels spongy, thatch is the problem<\/h2>\n

<\/span>Looking for dethatching<\/a> in Franklin, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about fifteen minutes away.<\/pee>Dethatching is the lawn service people do not know they need until they see the pile. A thick thatch layer makes a lawn feel spongy, sheds water, shelters grubs and fungus and blocks fertilizer, so the more you feed and water, the worse it looks. Franklin homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper<\/a> for years. So we bring that same approach to every dethatching job in town.<\/pee>We check the thatch depth first, because a thin layer is healthy and deserves to stay put. When it is over half an inch, we power rake the lawn to pull the dead material out and remove it. Then we follow with overseeding and a feeding, so the lawn fills back in thicker than before. Combined with core aeration, it is the reset an old, tired lawn needs.<\/pee>\n

Why Franklin, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Dethatching<\/h2>\nFranklin is the largest of the towns we serve and one where we do a great deal of work. That work runs from the neighborhoods around downtown and Dean College to the subdivisions off Route 140, Lincoln Street and Pleasant Street. It is a mix of older homes near Main Street, dense 1990s and 2000s developments with tight setbacks, and condominium communities that need reliable grounds care. We also handle commercial properties in the industrial parks near Interstate 495 and Forge Park.<\/pee>Soils in Franklin change block by block. Much of the town is glacial till with plenty of stone, while the low ground near Mine Brook, Uncas Pond and the Charles River holds water and stays soft. Heavy clay pockets are common in the newer subdivisions where builders stripped the topsoil during construction. That is why so many Franklin lawns struggle with compaction, moss and standing water until someone actually corrects the soil instead of covering it up.<\/pee>\n
