[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How nice do you want it and how quickly do you need it?  Sounds like you're in a tough spot this spring/summer for a renovation (ie, working with what you've got). You can maybe get some gras going in the bare spots but weeds have probably already germinated and will be an issue this summer.  If you dethatch, rake in topsoil, overseed and water diligently, you will probably have a modestly full, but weedy yard by June.

Alternatively, you can kill it all ASAP. Rake it out. Later on an inch or two of topsoil and then roll out new sod. That will get you a nice lush yard, but obviously it's more costly. However if your yard is small enough it may not be that bad ... a weekend of hard work and a couple hundred bucks (for a townhouse size yard).

"Renovating" an existing yard is a multi year process.

We're in year 9 and this is the FIRST year I front and back yard look like a magnificent green carpet.  We are DIY people, refusing to hire a lawn service as all our neighbors do.  We have very few weeds and absolutely no crab grass!!![/quote]
