To tell you all about my lawn would be a long boring story. Basically, I never fertilize, although I did hire someone one year. That was one year out of 8 years since I've been here. My side yard is perfect. The back yard is very good. In the front yard (of my patio villa) I have a different kind of grass that, so far, never needs any special attention. It's drought tolerant and never gets attacked by cinch bugs or any other bugs. It's also slow growing and hardly ever needs to be cut.

I only fertilized my shrubs once and they always look great. The only thing I accomplished by fertilizing them is that I made them grow faster so I had to trim them more often.
