Dethatching is the best way to get rid of thatch in your lawn. It involves tearing through your lawn to remove the thatch layer beneath with a dethatching tool, like a dethatching rake, power rake, or verticutter (vertical mower). Here’s a short step-by-step guide on dethatching a lawn:
Water your lawn two days before dethatching.
Run the dethatching machine at least three times across the lawn.
Remove the piles of thatch and dispose of them when you’re finished.
