I saw quite a few reviews on this place which really do not give the units at Ridge Pointe the compliments they deserve. The 2 bedroom unit we were in was very large. It was a large one bedroom with a studio lockoff. Big kitchen and livingroom area and jacuzzi in the master bedroom.
Dethatching can leave your lawn looking like a disaster area, especially if the blades dig into the soil. If your lawn produces a lot of thatch, dethatch annually, so that it's not such a big job. If the thatch is no more than a half-inch (1.27 centimeters) deep, you can probably get by with every other year.
But a pain in that they leave all these castings on the surface of your lawn. The castings help to decompose thatch because they bring the soil above the thatch layer of the lawn and in essence slowly churn the soil over time. This will slow as soon as the moisture levels in the lawns and the rains slow down.
