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

<\/span>Looking for dethatching<\/a> in Bellingham, 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. Bellingham 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 Bellingham, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Dethatching<\/h2>\nBellingham stretches from the North Bellingham and Caryville villages on the Charles River down to the neighborhoods off Route 126 and Route 140. Interstate 495 also runs right through the middle of town. Most of our Bellingham work is residential: split-levels and colonials from the 1960s through the 1990s, newer developments off Hartford Avenue and Lake Street, and homes around Silver Lake. We also care for commercial properties on the Route 126 retail strip that need dependable year-round care.<\/pee>Bellingham soils are generally sandier and stonier than the towns east of us, with fast-draining outwash near the Charles River and its ponds and heavier till on the uplands. Fast drainage sounds like a good thing until the lawn browns out in a dry July and the mulch beds bake. So soil building, watering habits and the right plant choices matter more here than almost anywhere else we work.<\/pee>\n
