"If I could give 0 stars, I would. I hope this is a warning for anyone considering using Allen, they are absolutely HORRENDOUS to work with. Never in my life have I spoken with such a disgusting manager. To give back story, we hired Allen to inspect our backflow last July. A member of the team came out, inspected, and gave us a green/blue tag saying we were “all good to go”. He mentioned that we didn’t need any paperwork, and that they would submit it directly to the water district. A year later, our water district called letting us know they were shutting off our water because they never got a passing test from Allen. The manager and receptionist BOTH said it was mine and my husband’s fault because we mentioned in passing that we would eventually take out our sprinkler, so the information never got sent to the water district. DISGUSTING! This was also after admitting that the inspector didn’t work there anymore “for good reason”. After arguing with the Manager who still insisted it was mine and my husband’s fault, they sent out a new tech who straight up told the manager while I was standing there “the inspector did pass them in their inspection and gave them a tag. The information is all here. The office must not have filed the paperwork correctly”. They still continued to send us a bill for the re-inspection. Save yourself the hassle and hire someone that actually cares."

"My questions were answered before the project even started. Nate and crew were here on time and fully ready. We originally agreed on 3 bushes for removal, but after seeing 2 more bushes that needed removal as well, I allowed the guys to remove them...I was charged nothing more! I am very happy with the work that was done!"

"Their work was excellent. He gave me a discount because of health condition. His workers did far more work than I expected. But the supervisor was not going to charge any more than the original estimate. The yard was covered with last year's leaves. When they finished there was not a single leaf left on the ground. They were by far the best Lawn crew i have ever had!"

Lawn dethatching services FAQs

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.

You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.

Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.

The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
