I put the lawn in 2 years ago and then injured myself badly enough that I was unable to do any gardening until now.
I've spent the last two weeks cleaning it up and it looks like this:

The issues we are having a

Ground is a bit uneven in places.
Grass grows in clumps (thanks to a female dog that wees on it0 we are discouraging her from doing it)
Generally poor condition of the grass.

How do I fix this?


Should I be mowing it- or using a strimmer to cut for now?
Should I be fertilising it and putting down some new seed and top soil?
Or just water it and mow it every 2 week?

Thanks people.
