You can also dethatch with a special dethatching rake, or your basic garden spike. The basic idea is to get in to the ground, deeply and vigorously. No matter how the dethatching is done, it stresses the lawn and many people, immediately over seed and fertilize the lawn immediately following the job. This is a lot of work.
