Starting Over: Eliminating Weeds to Establish a New Lawn

A yard covered in henbit, clover, and other weeds needs a complete reset. The expert outlines the process: reduce weeds, install or check irrigation, then sod or seed. Roundup (non-selective, post-emergent) is recommended. For best results, apply on young, actively growing weeds. A strategy: mow, water heavily to stimulate weed growth, then apply Roundup. This works reliably.

The expert emphasizes that simply spraying without stimulating growth first may miss dormant weeds. The mow-water-wait-spray sequence ensures maximum uptake.
