My whole garden seems to be covered with this plant. I used to have more moss in the garden which I've been thinking of how to get rid of but this spring I just noticed this everywhere. There's no longer any grass it seems. Please help!!!

Clover
Looks like White Clover to me
It’s clover and I’d rather have it than the chickweed I do have
That’s good! It’s a great cover crop, I think it adds nitrogen to the soil and outcompetes crappy weeds… although my only source for this is One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka I think
That’s clover. Some dislike having it in a lawn, but I would love to have my lawn as full of it as you do. It can be kept mown as short as grass, but stays nice and green in the summer when grass would go brown. Plus, if you allow it to flower, it is really pretty and good for pollinators. And it’s a good nitrogen-fixing legume. Win-win.
Clover and it’s beneficial to pollinators.
I would prefer this in my lawn!
I rather have this than Bermuda grass.
I like clover. I don’t even pull it.
I have clover everywhere, I love it
Clover. Best way to kill it is with a chemical called quinclorac
Oh my gosh I’m amazed you’ve not seen clover before! It’s lovely, enjoy it!
My area is experiencing an infestation of beetle grubs destroying our grass lawns. Many are seeding white clover instead of grass as the grubs don’t feed on it.
I love this clover. If it goes where I don’t want it, it’s easy to pull it. Where, red clover, chickweed, prostrate spurge, annual rye grass, crab grass, and wood sorel spread their seeds, die back, leaving bare spots for more weeds.
Clover- pollinators love the flowers too!
Nice! My dream lawn.
Honeybees love the clover flowers. Definitely keep.
If you’re talking about the clover? Leave it. That shit is expensive. When it blooms it will bring more pollinators.
Is clover not common in the UK? I find that hard to believe considering that the most common symbol that I associate Ireland with is the shamrock.
Clover is great, it fixes nitrogen, maxes out on height and looks nice especially when it flowers. I know people spending good money to turn their grass lawn into clover.

Four leaf?
I planted this as my entire backyard on purpose. Clover is great.
Clover, wild violets, and wild thyme are the best ground cover. I am seeding them in places where I’m purposely killing the grass in my yard. It’s beautiful and good for the local fauna. I hate monoculture lawns. They’re ugly and devoid of life.
Amazing, would love a lawn of clover
