Don’t put down a pre em. Get a bottle of Celsius and spray all the broadleaf/grassy weeds. Follow up in 2 weeks. Spray all grassy weeds that didn’t die with glyphosate. Aerate and top dress with a 60/40 mix of Mason sand and compost. Seed with an improved Bermuda seed like La Prima or Royal TXD. Lightly rake seed in. Water every morning for 2 weeks.

Depending on the size of your lawn all of that can be done for under $500.

Know of any local companies that will premix sand and compost and deliver?
