If your lawn is spotty and overrun with weeds, it will never be the envy of the neighborhood. A beautiful, green lawn with neatly spread grass and no dandelions peeping through is what you desire. That may appear complicated, but it isn't if you follow these instructions.

**Step 1: First, Identify the Weeds**
To develop an effective game plan, you'll need to know what sort of weeds you're working with. Because weed treatments are designed to target specific weeds, what works on wide leaf weeds might not work on grass-like weeds. Broad leaf, grass-like, and grassy weeds are the three varieties of weeds.

**Step 2: Pick your herbicide**
The next step is to choose the best weed treatment depending on the weed's categorization and life cycle stage. Herbicides used before the emergence of weeds are known as pre-emergent herbicides. Established weeds are targeted by post-emergent herbicides.

Keep in mind that herbicides can damage any plant life they come into touch with, regardless of the label, so use caution. Killing your current, thinning grass isn't a huge concern if your goal is to re-establish your lawn, which we advocate, because you'll have to start over anyhow.

**Step 3: Put the Treatment to Work**
This stage requires that you follow the directions to the letter. Use the appropriate product at the appropriate time. You should check the weather forecast ahead of time since you don't want any storms to wash your herbicide away.

**Step 4: Take your time**
How soon you may sow seed depends on the sort of weed treatment you apply. Because pre-emergent pesticides inhibit grass seeds from developing as much as weed seeds, spreading seeds right thereafter is pointless. Depending on the sort of weed treatment you chose, you may have to wait up to four weeks. Your local garden center can tell you when it's safe to plant.
