g'day sandra,

it's all in the cutting of the lawn.

the taller you cut the grass the deeper the roots will be, getting
some fine humus type organic material and raking it around will help
the soil to hold better moisture.

and leave the clip on the lawn never use a catcher, lwan clipping
provide the easiest and simplest source of nutrients and amendments.
we even don't use catcher type plades on our mower but instead blades
that have no lift or suction so the top soil doesn't get disturbed.
catching grass can remove a lot of soil over time.

but apart from use your grey water to water it, don't waste too many
resouces on an otherwise resource wastefull folly of manicured lawns.
