My first year of having a buddies lawn service do mine....man, what a difference. I have a postage stamp for a lawn so the cost of them treating it is about $100+ LESS that what I could have done buying it myself. I don't water either....I let mother nature do it. My lawn did turn a little ugly during the real hot and dry times, but my weeds were MUCH LESS. Plus, I have been mowing higher too....makes a big difference. I didn't think the service would make a difference in one year, but WOW was I wrong. My lawn is by no means Fenway like, but it is head and shoulders what it used to be. I almost decided to till the whole lawn and replant or go sod.....glad I didn't.
If you can, have someone come and aerate and over seed. They did mine last week and I already have new grass growing in some of the bare spots.....they even did some spots I didn't care about and grass is growing there too. I would at least do Fall Fert....
