Located in 7b (I think) in Kentucky and not sure where to start

Moving from Texas up to Kentucky and I’m looking to really up my lawn game in the next few years. In the past I’ve inherited pretty established lawns of st. Augustine and didn’t really take a lot of maintenance on my part tbh. Now that im in the new house I see I have quite a bit of work to do and have a few questions.

1. Should I get a soil sample sent off?

2. What grass is in the picture. KBG? Not sure but want to make sure I’m looking up the right resources for my lawn.

3. I’ve got a LOT of clover. Haven’t dealt with that in the past. Best product to kill?

4. A neighbor told me we live on a lot of clay. I haven’t taken a core to see what it looks like but I may need some suggestions breaking it up.

5. What schedule should I fertilize and seed

6. I’m assuming aeration is still pretty key. Always just did it whenever I had some extra time. Should I continue that or do it a specific time of the year?

Thanks in advance. Will absolutely post updates after a year or so.
