How often do you feed the lawn?

It depends on rainfall and your soil type. Sandy soils need more
often. Maybe once or twice a year. Do it in wet weather or water it
in. Prevents scorch marks appearing on the grass with the raw
fertilzer. In dry weather don't mow it as close. This keeps a little
more humidity on the ground.
I'm not familiar with your climate, weeds or grass types to much, I
'm from the UK.
The best grass type depends, of course, on your climate and how much
foot traffic you get on your lawn. Some coarse grasses grow much
faster than others and are better when you have kids etc running about.
