Weedy lawn
How can I stop these weeds in my lawn???
My lawn sprouts more weeds than grass!!!! When I mow, it's like Im just giving the weeds a haircut! My house is the corner house which has the biggest lawn. Im the introduction to the whole block because when a car drives by, my weedy lawn is the first thing they see! Im starting to look forward to winter so snow can blanket my field of persistent weeds. Please help!!!

Man! I wish my weeds looked as good as yours does! I too have such a large problem with weeds, but there is not much one can do. I spray with RoundUp for the really bad areas, but that just leaves big holes of death.
I did see my local count ag extension folks and they say that IF you have 25% weeds - you have to take a ruler to the yard, say a 12" style, lay down a block 12 x 12, and really look close to see if you think you have that much or more. They said if 25% or more is weeds, then you will have to KILL off all of it and start new. Sorry, but that is what might be needed. Good Luck! ! !
Your weeds are beautiful. Wish mine looked that good! Weeds are spread by wind, wildlife and people. Since you are on a corner lot, you have more maintenance to do. There are a number of remedies.

Since I have lots of pets and a toddler next door, I stay away from chemicals. I know someone that gives their lawn a light dusting of a weed and feed product every two weeks and has an extremely lush drought tolerant lawn. In drought ridden southern CA that is quite an accomplishment.
Here are some more options!

I had that same problem. My neighbors have manicured lawns. I was told they simple put down sod. It's not as expensive as you would think. It''s easy to put down and you get instant results.
have you tried lawn weed and feed?
Hi Steven! I found a few videos on youtube that suggested lawn weed and feed.
I went with the video that suggested milogornite. I tried it on one part of the lawn. I may have applied it wrong because that part of the grass turned brown. I applied it by hand. Big mistake.
I've gotta do more research on actual lawn weed and seed. Im afraid to potentially burn the grass again. 😬
