kill the weeds then grab the rake. You can rent a verticutter but you will be raking anyway so just put some elbow grease in and rake up the thatch. That will prep the soil as well. If your yard is large then rent the verticutter. If it is small, like under 5000 sq ft, then just rake it. A good solid rake, not a flimsy leaf rake is what you want.
