Yes you do need to de-thatch. We bought a little over a year ago, and while there in May our lawn looked terrible. We were told to de-thatch.
What happens is when your yard is cut it is mulched, it is good to a point, however over time this will build up and block the roots from getting what they need.
Our nieghbors yard looked great, found they use Fertigator and Fertigator De-thatches. We signed on with them and when the de-thatched our yard, they carried away 16 large trash bags of thatch. Our yard looks amazing now.
This is not an advertisement for Fertigator, however our yard has done a complete turn around and we couldn't be happier.
They man from Fertigator told us de-thatching needs done every 3-4 years
