Thank you for reaching out. 
You can dethatch your lawn in the spring, but it is better in the fall. There are some really great articles if you Google when did detach your lawn. They may be beneficial as to how much thatch you should have and how to take care of it if you have more and when is the best time for different types of grasses. It would be really beneficial to read. I hope this helps.
