18 inch Crappie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My yard looks like he!! from the voles to winter spots,I need to do something and I am not going to hand rake, to old for that. What about a Estate rake any one use one before? Right now I am looking at renting a power dethatcher to use this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 With how dry the spring has been around the cities, I wouldn't be TOO afraid to power rake.Usually it shouldn't be done in the spring, because you'll cause too much damage, but it's so dry right now (unless you have copious amounts of shade) that you should be okay.Just don't put pre emergent down before hand.

hoggs222 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I did mine this past weekend and it was dry. I just use the one with the tines, that you pull behind the riding mower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
