Regular maintenance is the only way you are going to ensure that you have a nice, healthy yard that is free of weeds. The most important step, as far as I am concerned, is that you keep your yard free of debris and leaves. This keeps the grass underneath from getting the sunshine it needs to grow. The next most important step is to be sure that you are giving your grass enough water throughout the year, especially in the driest times of the year and at the end of the year before it begins to freeze. Next, you can pick out a weed control spray, and luckily, they now sell it in weed and feed, it only kills the weeds and then feeds the grass. (Be sure to follow the directions on the label to a T.) And the last step, and definitely not the least important one, is to cut your grass on a regular basis. Be sure that you do not cut the grass too short, or this will cause it to brown and look as if it is dying. I suggest setting the blade a little higher than you normally would and cut a little more often. (As you can tell in the above picture, I am constantly fighting cloves in my yard)

Happy Gardening!
