whats in my lawn

 
hi all,
I was hoping a gardening expert could identify the clover (?) that has
taken over huge parts of my lawn - please see the attachments.
Should I get this treated?
Cheers for any advice,
Al

I don't know what the weed is but a broad-leaf weed killer will get
rid of it.   To test buy a spray bottle of it and try a small area.  I
like the Bayer product.

 
You have a mix in the pictures of Birds foot Trefoil and Black medick.


You need a selective weed killer to kill

grass...

  trim it once in a while and let it go
and you should see some nice yellow
flowers while still keeping a neat
appearance.

  if you are using a mulching mower
that is good as it will build the soil
up instead of removing all those nutrients.

Yes and quick. I had a similar weed last year I used "westlands
complete". Dont worry when you use it as the weeds will grow rigorously
this all part of the process. Warning - DO NOT over dose the lawn as the
grass will be killed off, read the instructions.
