First and last. We've always put a fall fertilizer but this time we put some more on in the Spring. Never again!! It is thick and healthy though which keeps the weeds down.
Couple of my friends who have small lots in town have dug out all grass put landscape cloth down and washed stone over whole yard. Looks ok not practical if you like being out side. They have patios to sit on and bbq.
