So we bought this house and the lawn is terrible, there appears to be two major things growing that I need to get rid of. I am pretty new to lawn care as this is my first house, please see pictures below. What can I do to get rid of these? Image #1 Image #2 Image #3 Image #4 Image #5 Image #6 Image #7 Image #8
I think the only solution to your problems CC is to go to a local garden centre and ask them for a systemic weed killer. This type of weed killer kills weeds right down to the roots. Once the treatment is over with then I would leave the ground fallow for a few weeks and then re-seed with grass.
lawn problems I share your pain, as our house had a gravel (yes, gravel) back yard when we bought it. We've been fighting that one ever since and are finally getting some grass growing. Anyway, here's a good site with advice on all sorts of lawn care. I've found good tips there. Good luck. http://www.allaboutlawns.com/grass-type ... s-seed.php
