Foreclosure Lawn Full of Weeds: Aerate, Overseed, Then Weed & Feed

Foreclosure home. Lawn neglected, some grass, lots weeds, bare spots. Economical fix without sod.

5-Step Budget Renovation

1. Buy best local grass seed (garden shop).
2. Mow weeds short.
3. Core aerate (multiple passes).
4. Overseed entire lawn.
5. Water daily.

Then: Weed & Feed

Once grass establishes, use weed & feed per label to clean up weeds while feeding grass.

Cheap, effective, builds from what's there.
