I am working on renovating this lawn. Can anyone help me in identifying this grass? I am in Melbourne if that helps.

Based on that I will go ahead and buy some seeds. Any seed recommendations also would be great

Need to work on leveling the soil and adding soil mix. Post that I will aerate the lawn.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi u/Shloeb a bit hard to see from that photo sorry! It looks like it is most likely kikuyu, however it is also showing traits of a couch grass. If you are able to provide some more close up photos of the lawn, we should be able to get a more accurate identification for you.
