2 weeks ago, I sprayed WeedBGone and Scott’s Bonus S a few days later. Seems like these have really stressed out my grass.

What do I need to do to redeem it?

Is that brown stuff all thatch? If so rake it out to expose the soil. Cut often and water.

If that is centipede you really should not dethatch it. Water, Sun and Time unless you want to reno it all together.

Water. Be patient. What type of grass, hard to tell from the photo.

Good reminder - turf is resistant to herbicides, not immune. Application of herbicides in the 2 to 3 weeks when the lawn is greening up from winter to spring can damage the turf, particularly if over applied.

You may have overdone it, applying 2 herbicides back to back within a few days of each other. In the future avoid the weed & feed products; in other words, just use lawn fertilizer without the herbicide incorporated. Control weeds with herbicide and fertilize the lawn as 2 separate activities.

Right. Looked like Bermuda. Just suggesting to hand rake it out.

Solid backpack or handcan, lesco spreader, feed store for fert, msm herbicide is a cheap way to have a pro lawn.
