Give it a light trim first, then give it a week and trim again. If you cut it too short weed grows with a vengeance. I normally throw grass food on it which also has some weed killer which burns it.

I use a fork to make holes in the lawn. Do not really know why I do it, think it helps the worms in the soil. The magpie enjoys the breakfast in the morning.

So... no. I have no clue what I am doing.
Well your fork thing is a good idea. I have an acre though they have machines you can rent and run over your lawn and it’s just that, it puts little holes all over the yard so that is a good idea. Then I would need to rent a truck to get the thing home. Thanks I’ll keep looking around I have a black thumb, I love cactus and have bought several to grow indoors but so far every one has died
An Acre? That is virtually a full sized football pitch (what you pansies call soccer). You don't need advice form an Englishman about lawns you need some tips from a groundsman. I will ask the future brother-in-law.

Cut mine today first cut after winter. Took about 20 mins
Well that includes the house and some woods so it’s not all lawn. Cool thing is my back yard goes into a wooded area and behind that is land owned be the state so no one will be building back there. There is a decent size stream, I can’t see it but if it’s a quiet day I can sit on my porch and hear the water run. But all in all yes it is a big lawn, I have a drive on mower when we first moved here I used my push mower and by the time I was done I felt like I was going to pass out.
I understand mate. I will ask the future brother in law he has worked on some pretty awesome lawns of all sizes.
