I've lived in my home for 5 years now, and ever since, I've given myself the project of making our lawn look and feel great...however, I'm at my wits end...I can't tell anymore if my lawn is weed or grass...I've tried weed killers, granulated fertilizers, overseeding, reseeding areas, and it's just getting worse...or at least not any better...I'm almost ready to kill my entire lawn and start over...I've even had a small sprinkler system put in so I can rule that out?! What do I do? I have lots of crabgrass, other stuff I can't identify, and the grass that is there...who knows if or what type of grass is there.

The area I'm trying to fix is on the north side of my home, gets no shade, and has quite a bit of sun...the sun has to get over my house to begin hitting my lawn, but that happens by mid morning. Any suggestions? Kill, not to kill, zoysia, gasoline! Kidding of course...thanks for any help.

Where do you live?
What type of grass do you currently have?
Have you ever done a soil test?
What do you expect out of your lawn?
How much time are you willing to devote to it?

Also how long and how often do you water? I'm not ready to rule out improper watering.

How often and high/low do you mow?

Do you know the names of any of your weeds or can you post pictures?
