Hello @smasshmurphy 

Thanks for sharing your question about your lawn. I recommend having a quick look at these discussions - Budget lawn renovation by @Grub80 and Lawn renovation by @homeinmelbourne. These are both excellent examples of lawn care and lawn revival.

I also recommend looking at this discussion - How to repair brown patches on buffalo lawn? by @NateZheng.

Here are some handy step-by-step guides:

Aside from the adding of fertilizer and nutrients to the soil, my number one suggestion is to aerate the soil. I suggest using Saxon Lawn Aerator Sandals to break up the compacted soil thereby allowing water and nutrients to travel down into the roots of the lawn.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
