Keep in mind the ability/environment to grow manicured lawns of "back home" does not exist here. We are attempting to grow lush lawns on sand based soil.
Hence the need(s) for constant replenishing of fertilizers/chemicals to enhance what can't be done naturally.
The lawns are also very damaged by lawn service providers that use big riding mowers, that churn up corners or where ever the come around. They also pass fungus and all other ills from yard to yard.
Good luck in the endeavor to have that back home lush lawn.
The smaller the area of grass cut by walking or self propelled/walking mowers will yield the best results.
I have over time eliminated most of the curves and fancy turns in the lawn configuration to eliminate the tire grinding that occurs in and around the turns.
Easy to do by extending the adjacent beds and eliminating the curves, as much as possible.
