Weed Control in Mixed Lawn: Define Your Grass First

Chris: lawn has many plants, heavy weeds. Lawn = mown, cultivated grass. ID desirable grass. Is there enough to save? If yes: selective broadleaf killer (2,4-D kills some grasses; atrazine safe on St. Augustine but kills Bahia). Or: resod with chosen turf. Economics may favor resod.

You decide. But decide.
