What's the timing on aeration? I know dethatching needs to be spring, but figured do aerating at the same time.

Just rent one at Home Depot. It is about as hard as pushing a mower.

Grass is entering dormancy, wait until spring,when you grass is actively growing, what type of grass do you have? Verticut then aerate your yard

So would you aerate first or dethatch first?? Or does it really matter??

Wouldn't it make sense to clear the lawn of thatch before aerating?

Removing thatch
Where thatch buildup is a problem, the soil must be dethatched with a dethatcher or verticutter, which is a mower with vertical blades. Dethatchers can be rented from equipment companies. The dethatcher cuts through the thatch layer leaving the thatch debris on top of the lawn and leaves grooves in the soil so that new seed can be planted.
Aerating the soil
After dethatching, rake up the debris and then aerate the soil. An aerator pulls cores of soil from the surface, loosening it and allowing moisture and oxygen to penetrate.
