My fiance and I recently bought a home with a beautifully clovered front yard that has moss and these succulent looking plants in a portion of it that we want to protect and… Fish mint.
I tried pulling the fish mint individually but found it impossible to get the full roots for certain each time.
I want to keep this moss/succulent type plant mixture. Is there a way we can till/remove the whole area and replant the good plants?
I'd estimate the fish mint was accidentally planted last growing season, as it's only successfully popped up in about a 2 sq yd area.
In the last photo I tried to circle the plants I like in green, and the fish mint on red. I am also working on pulling the obvious weeds.
Any tips are appreciated, as well as identification of the non fish mint plants planted. Thank you much.

There are four images in my post. The first is a zoomed out photo of the lawn area where I attempted to capture the plants in-focus. The second is a close up of the dreaded fish mint, with the plants I refer to as “succulent-type” or “succulent looking things” in the immediate background, top left of the photo.
The third image is of the same area, but with the camera focused on a smaller area in an attempt to get the different plants in focus.
(This bit of our lawn has quite a few different things growing in it.)
The last image is the same photo posted again, with me circling the plants I think would be “goodd” and would like to keep in a greenish blue color, and the fish mint in red.
