New home. Any tips for getting rid of these large patches of what I assume are a weed? Thanks!
First three pics are front lawn and there a ton of patches of what look like a clovery type weed. Last two photos are the back yard with patches of a dead weeds. Do I just spray and water? Any advice helps, thanks.
You should download and install the PictureThis app (not affiliated, just a fan of it). It will help you identify weeds and you can research the proper way to kill them. You have a lot going on here. Your lawn was left untreated for a very long time to get this kind of variety.
From my untrained eye, it looks like:
* Waterclover in pics 1, 2, 3
* Asterweed (looks like it’s dormant or dying, brown with flowers, but I’m not sure) and possibly some kind of sedge or Bermuda (tall grass) in pic 5
Your base grass is St. Augustine, so I presume you’re in the southern US. Some 2,4,D will usually take care of the broadleaf weeds and the aster, but not the sedge. You’ll need Image or something like that.
I’d get on a proper pre-emergent schedule and stop these weeds from growing in the first place. The aster likely has already dropped seeds so it’ll pop up again next Fall if you don’t. Since you have so much weeds, you’re going to have big dead spots and eventually bare ground to cover. Also beef up your fertilization game in the spring. St. A will choke out most weeds if it’s thriving and healthy.

What do you plan to spray it with?
What grass type do you want to save?
