f you are lucky enough to have an evenly distributed, weed-free lawn, you probably will not need this dethatcher.  If you are among the other 99% of the population, this is the perfect tool for getting close to that one percent.

Our house has an all zoysia yard.  Anyone who has an even passing knowledge of this grass knows how thick it grows.  Sure, it looks great for a few months, but if you want to have green in your lawn early in spring, you are out of luck.  Zoysia will choke out any other grass.  We wanted a more balanced, and somewhat softer, lawn – especially around flower beds.  We used the WOLF GARTEN Dethatching Rake to thin out the zoysia in order to give other grasses a chance to take root.  I was able to clear enough zoysia from near the more landscaped parts of the yard that I can keep it from creeping under stones and walls.

I thought that trying to get through the vine-like grass would be exhausting and incredibly time-consuming, but the angle of the rake adjusts so I wasn’t bent over and it took about 15 minutes of dragging the rake before I realized that short strokes work the best.  The rest of our yard took no time at all.  The dethatching rake gives near-professional results at a fraction of the cost.  You do have to purchase the handle separately, but it works with many other Wolf Garten attachments.
