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.
Rake up the thatch and grass clippings. Thatch is a layer of mostly dead organic matter on the top of the soil. A heavy layer of thatch will keep seeds from germinating, as seeds need to be in direct contact with the soil in order to germinate. Go over the top of your soil lightly with a thatch rake.
