If your yard has not had it done in more than 3 years, that's what I usually tell people.
A while ago I would say to get it done every year, but then I learned that some thatch actually helps keep moisture to the roots. Thatch also provides nutrients to the grass plants. Now just like everything else; only a moderate amount is good for you. Too much thatch can make fertilizing and water intake hard to implement. Another problem that can arise from too much thatch is the spread of lawn disease! Im not saying that having too much thatch is the cause of disease, but what i'm saying is that if your lawn does get a disease heavy amounts of thatch will spread it more easily. Another problem having too much thatch is, is the ability for pest to live comfortably, thus killing your lawn from the bottom up.
So if you don't think your lawn has ever been PowerRaked aka DeThatched (Same Exact thing) it would be a good idea to do it.
P.S Sometimes PowerRaking your lawn reveals a lot of empty spaces between grass blades, so over seeding is another good idea to do immediately after.
