Recommendations on renovation of lawn?

I think there are a lot of broad leaf weeds like, clover, dandelions, henbit, and some other stuff, there are some pics of some below. The rest is a mixture of fescue in shaded areas and bermuda grass in sunny areas.





(btw, what is that type of weed in pic below called?)





i was thinking maybe either pre emergent now to prevent crabgrass , however, i am thinking maybe i will just skip that in order that i may seed and fertilize and try to get the grass growing stronger , than come back and apply a post emergent herbicide to ALL the weeds, broadleaf and crabgrass , etc.





which is better you think?

Recommendations on renovation of lawn?
Your picture did not come through on the question site.


Renovation is different than Re-Doing. Post emergence on all weeds means Re-Doing and should be done before any seeding. You Re-Do when the weeds are greater than you can accept or twenty percent of the turf.


Perhaps I can help. Send picture of weed and total landscape/turf to gjgjobs@yahoo.com. I can outline a program of action for you.

I suggest that you spray the entire lawn with a safe weed killer, before anything seeds.


You'll be forever trying to get rid of just the weeds.


When it has turned completely brown, (you might consider mowing and possibly raking), then reseed with new grass of your choice. Keep watered if sparse rain.





If you live in a hot southern clime, consider Bermuda. This has to be planted in sprigs. It should spread pretty well by mid summer.

I would suggest you check out JerryBaker.com


You'll probably get more info than you need, but it's a very informative site.
