Thought about spraying some weed n feed, let it do it’s thing, then throwing some new Grass seed over it and a light top dress??
(If you too have a lot of clay, some clay breaker as well before the seed)
Yeah,… it’s very much Horses for courses.
Soil type, acidity levels, shade/sun etc.
I bet it was everyone in your local or nearby n/hood that recommended it? Sounds like it thrives in your area.
Nah, need to rotary hoe it and get that’s sand in. It’s northcote clay. Great for making bricks, not for growing turf.

Hmmm. Just remembered the Community garden in NC was part of a Uni study testing for Lead, and the results weren’t great. Other testing in the area the same.
On the back of that a few friends in northern Melbs removed the top 6 inches of their lawns/open ground and started from scratch.
Exy, but it value adds on the property, like putting a reco motor in a used car, just have to keep the receipts.

In my estate it’s all clay land. So many yard are just rock/pebble with yakkas, cement or full of weeds with struggling grass.

Don’t say that - I just laid Sir Walter on clay! Two weeks in and so far so good. 50ml garden soil underneath With a good dose of gypsum underneath. All in shade. Fingers crossed.

as long as you lay enough good soil on top of the clay it shouldn’t be an issue.
My parents live onto of an old clay, the area is notorious for its hard grounds. They put down enough top soil and their buffalo has grown just fine.
goodluck
