hi
I am 1 year into gardening now. I moved into property with newly laid lawn which I did not take care and the grass and weeds appeared and grew very tall then I trimmed them and started mowing the grass but it never recovered. since last year I have been using various seeds and lawn thickening formula etc but it never recovered to the extent when it was handed over to us.

I have tried scrapping the surface, aerating it but does not help.
latest I have tried 'after cut' formula and seeds have been eaten by birds...what to do?

I could post some pics and if someone could advise..

thanks..

Photos may help. Did you over fertilize it or put too much weed and feed down?

Knowing your location would help. Your soil type is also necessary information.
