Digged up a small block of grass to check the thatch layer like the internet told me to. But I still need a second opinion from a real human not AI.

Do I need to dethatch my lawn? What to do after if the answer is yes? Seeding? Aerating?

    Is the grass in the room with us? Cuz that’s just crabgrass.

    If this is st. Augustine grass, the answer is you can’t dethatch. But you could aerate.

    If you live in the south, you probably have a warm season grass that doesnt need dethatching.

    What you do need to do is take care of weeds and throw down preemergent to prevent new ones.

    We also need a much better picture of your lawn.
