Need help with a lawn plan.....

posted by: sincerity on 04.19.2011 at 03:23 pm in Lawn Care Forum

Okay, I have lived at my current address for around 4 years now...for the past 2, every spring, I aerate, overseed, wait a few weeks and fertilize. I seem to get about a 60/40 ratio of grass to weeds in favor of the weeds, mostly clovers as u can see in the photos below. I have tried a knock off weed b gone product, in concentrated form and sprayed a section of grass and it had minimal effect on the big clover-like things. I was hoping the overseeding/fertilizing would "choke" out the weeds as I have read, but now am at a loss as some sections of the area are almost completely covered in clovers as you can see.

Granted it looks good after being mowed and is certainly green...but definitely not plush grass like I envisioned...Need some advice on a plan of action if anyone would be so kind as I am at my wits end after spending near 500.00 in the past 2 years for this result:

Please let me know if you need additional information and thanks for the time
