You've not stated what type of grass you have. In the villages it is likely St. Augustine in the Older sections and Empire Zoysia in the newer sections. Each type has different problems and requires different care.
In most places in the Villages the soil stinks. It is sandy clay with a PH of 7.5-8 very alkaline. You need to add organic matter and it is far better to add it before you lay down new sod. Once you go to the expense of adding organic matter it will better hold water so you will need less water, it will better hold fertilizer so it will last longer. and it will lower the PH slightly.
