Here's a non-chemical method to revive the lawn. Try aerating it with those aerate'n sandals sold at Ocean State for ten bucks. Basically ..... these are green plastic sandals with about 20-1 1/2" nail spikes attached ..... so you slowly and methodically walk about your miserable, crappy-wappy, terrible looking lawn with these aeration sandals to improve drainage and break up the compacted soil ..... and use no lime or anything else . 
 
Bingo ......... a beautiful lawn will soon grow back!
