Hello! I have never done anything to my lawn except mow and rake it over the years. I would now like to get more serious about caring for it and having it look healthier. If I begin this week, what should my first step be on this journey. Also, where do I go after this first step in terms of care. (P.S.- I had some mole problems this Spring too!)
The first step is checking and adjusting the soil pH.

The next step will be applying food or food with crabgrass preventer id you had crabgrass lat year.
