You cannot redo stuff that has already been done. You state you planted it last year and got three lemons. Someone else posted a link with instructions. I do not have a lemon tree so do not speak form experience but, I will bet it says to remove the fruit the first year so your tree uses it's energy to root in. Did you do proper soil preparation? Did you plant the tree at the proper height? Does the tree need a cross pollinator and is there one close by? Did you break up the root ball so that your tree is forced to venture out of it's original ball of heavenly soil? It is not at all unusual for fruit trees to produce little or no fruit some years.
It may just need time.
ADDED-You stated it grew 3x it's original size. Not sure how to read that but, if it is planted in your lawn, it is likely getting too much nitrogen which will get you a lot of growth but little or no fruit.
