After you cut your lawn the first time, get the blade resharped and balanced. Another thing that you could do is rent a powered dethacher, or purchase a hand one depending on you lawn size. This will pull up all the dead grass, leaves, sticks, rodent carcasses, and dead bodies that have work themselves deep into the grass. Doing this should help the lawn breath and give the grass (and weeds if your lawn was as poorly maintained as mine was) room to grow.
Enjoy
