Lawn weeds

 
I am a realitive newcomer and need advice on killing weed on my garden,
its a
large area of about a third of an acre so I need a decent product
possibly
liquid based. I have dogs so do not want to use anything that
will cause them
any danger.  I believe the weed is clover though I cant
attach a picture (I
guess because i'm a newbie).
Any advice appreciated.

If it's clover, the best approach may to be to do nothing at all.
Some people actually prefer to have some clover mixed in.   If you do
want to get rid of it, there are herbicides that are specifically
targeted for clover and you can apply them with a tank sprayer.     A
general purpose broadleaf weedkiller is not generally very effective
against clover.  You could also overseed in Fall, which would give you
more grass relative to the clover.

If it's some other broadleaf weed then a general broadleaf herbicide
for turn works in most cases.

Without getting into the whole debate of how safe any lawn chemicals
are for pets, at the very least, I'd minimize the amount used and keep
them off it for a week or so after application.
