I have been quite unsuccessful trying to get my lawn to look decent since I bought the house nearly
4 years ago. I dont have money for a landscaper. Below are links to pictures that I took.

The first pic shows these clover-like things growing in patches.

This next one shows leafy type growth for a big part of the lawn
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee225/trusso11783/lawn2.jpg

This is a picture of the entire lawn. It is very wavy and unlevel.

For a short term fix. is there a way to get rid of those growths described above so that they are
gone forever and replace with grass?

Is it just better to rip it all up and start new? As I said, i cannot afford landscaping services
right now but if I have to hire one guy to rip it up and level it, what would that cost on Long
Island, NY? Once it is leveled, I could probably seed it myself or get a friend to help me.

I am looking for constructive answers please. Do not reply that if I want something done, I have to
pay a pro to do it. That isnt true. I installed hi hats, re-wired my house with new power and light
switches, remodeled most of my bathroom and did plenty of other things without paying a pro. I am
pretty good at doing things. I just dont have a green thumb. Thanks.

Unless you want to do landscaping, you don't hire a landscaper.

If you don't want to invest the time and labor to fix your lawn
yourself, there are probably dozens of lawn services in your phone book
who will be glad to work on your lawn for a nominal fee.

I dont mind doing the landscaping, whatever it takes. I just want to be able to do it right without
too many mistakes. That is why I am asking those out there who dont mind sharing their knowledge. I
am a compuer consultant and have written tons of posts on how to fix computer problems at no charge.
That is how online communities work.

Try applying some Scotts Turf Builder with Plus 2 Weed Control. It's
available dry in a bag or in a bottle you attach to a hose. I've used the
kind you attach to the hose. Be sure to read the directions. It will
solve a lot of your problems.

Thanks for the tip George. I will try it and let you know how it turns out. If anyone has any other
suggestions, feel free to chime in.
