I couldn't get a job until after I was in college, and finally had access to a car.

I actually JUST came in from dethatching with the power rake. That still took 3.5 hours to finish (plus the 4 hours it took me to manually dethatch last week). 90% of the time was raking up the thatch and the rest was running the machine. I had 15 full yard bags of thatch for .21 acres (probably only .06-.09 of open yard). Thanks for the mention Trent!

I did that last year right after we moved in since the previous owners let the yard go to hell by never raking leaves or maintaining correct grass height. It was one of the most painstaking jobs I've done. Our lawn is about a third of an acre and it took forever to do. That being said, as you mentioned the lawn filled out in the summer beautifully and we received many compliments on it. Ugh, dethatching sucks!
