Hi u/LawnSolutionsAU

Recently moved into a new place and having a bit of trouble with the grass. Don’t really have a green thumb so not sure where to start.

There was quite a bit of white clover which we used a weed killer on and it’s now resulted in very patchy/ yellow grass.

Not sure what the grass type is, maybe buffalo? Is it just a case of some lawn feed and plenty of water or anything else we should be considering? Appreciate the insight.

I would look at firstly giving the soil an aerate with a garden fork to help decompact the soil profile, and then apply a well rounded fertiliser like our lawn solutions premium fertiliser to help give the lawn a boost in growth. Following this, ensure you are mowing the area regularly and you should start to see some impovement.
