Thatch is a layer of dead stems and roots that forms between the grass and the soil. Too much thatch is considered to be over half an inch. It makes the lawn feel “spongy” underfoot. As well as feeling like a spongy can also act like a sponge withholding valuable water, air and nutrients needed by the roots of your lawn. Conversely a little thatch, perhaps 1/4 of an inch is beneficial. It is not sufficient to hold valuable nutrients away from the soil and grassroots, but it is enough to cushion and protect valuable crowns of the grass plant and insulate the soil from the drying effects of wind and sun.
