Hello. I'm a semi retired resident of South Florida and I have been trying to fix a weed problem in my backyard. I had a big rottweiler that left a lot of spots where grass died, and also have a big proliferation of weeds which are outgrowing the grass. So here I am to ask for help and knowledge from the gardening community.
My goal is to have a backyard with nice and healthy grass, no weeds, and hopefully a grass that will be healthy all year round.
I'm attaching photos of the two main weeds that are spread all over. So my questions are, 1-how can I get rid of those weeds (as in what products should I use etc), 2- what kind of grass would be best to have. And 3- how can I grow that grass from seeds instead of digging and replacing the current turf (as it's probably much more costly). As you can see in the photos there are areas where here is no grass or weed just sandy soil.
All your help and input is greatly appreciated.
