I have a question regarding dethatching....

There are 3 options...

1) Using a thatch rake
2) Using a lawnmower attachment
3) Renting a vertical mower

4) Core aeration regularly. (best choice)

What do you consider regularly?
It's been six years since the last time I core aerated.

Every year. The soil microbes that are brought to the surface in the plugs
accelerate the rotting of the thatch layer. If you stay on a regular
schedule with it, you won't need de-thatching.
