Sun Joe Dethatcher is a better product. Don't buy the greenworks, they don't take out as much thatch as the sun joe because it rides higher.

Also as stated in the post, greenworks didn't honor orders in the previous deal and it was a bait and switch.

I bought this Dethatcher when it was on sale at amazon for $ 119.00 and and very happy with the result. Now we have the most beautiful green lawn in our neighborhood.

1st pic - shows the dead grass we got out. It filled the whole bin.
2nd pic - is the lawn after detaching and reseeding.
3rd pic - is the final result after 4 weeks and watering 2 times a day.

I bought a sun joe but then was waiting to get a 100ft 12/3 cord (in-laws were picking it up at Sam's for me, took longer than planned) and now I am worried I am too late to do it in Michigan. I didn't plan to overseed right now, but was going to wait until the fall for that. Should I just wait until the fall to dethatch it now too? Or go for it now? The lawn is looking decent but I'd like it to be better. We play in it a lot.

What does the scarcifier attachment do that the dethatching one doesn't? Why is that preferred if I need to dethatch my lawn? Don't know anything about it. Thanks!
Scarifying technically aerates the lawn because it basically digs into the dirt and scrapes the dirt up in a vertical fashion but it basically destroys 30-40% of the lawn in the process. You only need to do this if the lawn is very bad and doesn't need to be done if you dethatch often.

I wouldn't use scarifying attachment for the purposes of aerating the lawn. Because while it works, it 1. destroys the lawn in the process and 2. the tool can easily break as it's not durable enough for scarifying. You would need to borrow a specific aerating tool (personally I wouldn't do it every year maybe every other year) or if you have a small lawn get one of those manual ones that you make holes by stepping on it. It's going to be more work but not everyone has a truck to borrow the aerating tool that often.

I have this one. Pretty darn good. Wish it would go a little lower, but so far it's been great. Any questions let me know
You can lift the back to push the front a bit lower forward and try to pull back. It would get most of the thatch.
It is pretty good dethatcher, light, quiet and not too dusty. I wish it would be a bit more powerful. But it does a good job of getting the thatch if you do what I stated above.

The scarifier attachment digs deeper. In my experience, it digs about as deep as a hard press into your lawn with a metal rake. The dethatching attachment will "scratch" at the surface thatch. Which you use just really depends on how much thatch you have. If you have never dethatched your lawn mechanically you should probably start with the scary fier. If you have dethatched mechanically the previous year, this season, or REALLY REALLY went at it manually you should maybe start with the dethatching attachment. It is confusing because they are both "dethatching attachments". One is more aggressive than the other.

Thanks for info, never have dethatched and definitely needs. Will plan to overseed after. So sounds like the scarifier is what I need to do this year. I want the setting to be just so it's digging into the dirt a tiny bit then?

In Michigan? Nah, you're totally fine. Especially with how cold of a spring we've had. I very much doubt you'll hurt your lawn more than help it dethatching now.

Correct. It was on sale for $120 two weeks ago. I prefer this model simply because of the added attachment.

What I did was ran it at its lowest setting in a spot to get an idea of how deep it would dig. Every lawn is different. I recommend doing the same. Depending on where you are, you may want to wait until the fall to do this if the plan is to overseed directly after. I am in MI so I have the opportunity to overseed now. When you overseed you will want to protect the entire lawn, birds will find the seeds even in the depths of your grass. Hay, or whatever covering you prefer will definitely be your best deterrent for it.

In my case it didnt destroy my lawn. SE MI, lawn is a mix of blue grass and rye. It is definitely going to thin it out, the lawn needs time to recover, which is why its crucial to do this by memorial wknd at latest IMO or wait until the fall. My lawn was hard as a rock and the attachment held up find. The device itself is super flimsy but it works really well. The sunjoe that is.

You can dethatch any time the grass is growing and getting good water. It will grow back in (the whole point). If you dont have an irrigation system you want to do it at least 3 or 4 weeks before the end of the wet season in your area so it has good time to fill in. The other caveat to dethatching is you will tear up your preemergent (the crabgrass preventer you put down in spring) so you have to reapply that right away or risk getting crabgrass (and whatever else is in bloom) filling in your lawn. This is why everyone says to do it in late fall (too late for any new crabgrass to fully sprout) or early spring (Before you put down the first dose of preemergent).

That is kind of what I was thinking, since this spring has been so cold and delayed. It is basically early April out there. I just didn't plan on overseeding it right now since I have a preemergent for crabgrass. I tried to overseed in the spring last year and didn't do a preemergent and got a ton of cragbrass, so trying not to make that mistake again...

Hmmm.... Never heard about it messing up the preemergent. Shouldn't it have already done its job and is in the soil etc already? I applied it over a month ago and it should be rained in.

so my yard is bermuda... no trees, no sprinkler system. What are best practices for Dethatching ? I'm in the Carolinas. Lot of clay in our soil.

suppose I could just following this info: https://hgic.clemson.edu/factshee...-calendar/

Why do I feel like I don't want to purchase a $100 item when I may only use it once a year? Wonder if I can convince HOA to buy one that can be used by anyone in the neighborhood..hrmmm

If you've ever dethatched by hand, youll know why youll purchase it lol. Also dethatching by hand is far less efficient in terms of actual thatch. Definitely seek the hoa route, why not?
