Help! My yard is embarrassing.

Weeds definitely look to be taking over so I put down a bag of Scott’s. So the yard is centipede and weeds. If I kill the majority of the weeds, can I put down Bermuda seed to thicken the lawn and take the place if the weeds?
I’m on the north shore trying to learn what exactly to do. Everyone I speak with says something different.

Just cut it every two weeks if it needs it or not.
Seriously, lots of weeds can be managed by regular cutting, depending on how anal you are about having a weed here or there it is the best thing you can do for your lawn.

So don’t over cut it? Twice a week is too much?

Put down a bag of Scott’s what? Fertilizer, Weed & Feed? Really need more info on your lawn.
Photos of the weeds you dealing with are always a plus, many on this board can assist with identification of weeds and control.
First start by making sure you cutting the centipede at the correct height - 1 1/2 to 2 inches - common mistake of many is scalp the lawn. A healthy lawn is a good weed suppressant, and a scalped lawn is not going to be healthy over time.
Apply post- emergent herbicides for annual weed control, such as this weed cocktail mixture up until temperature near the mid 80s then switch to MSM Turf, and maybe Celsius herbicides.
Apply a pre-emergent herbicide, such as Prodiamine or Dimension, ideally in late winter (early/mid Feb) and fall (early Oct) to prevent any annual weed seeds from germinating, but you can apply some now to help out with weed seeds that have not yet germinated.
You’ve applied fertilizer already, so no need to do this again until late June/early July. And should likely be using something other than Scott’s on centipede.
Follow this board on lawn related posts - you’ll learn a lot. You may dealing with lawn health issues other than weeds, but without photos…..

What craw said. Gotta take pictures. What’s the ultimate goal? Golf course? Yard of the month? Just green? What level of work are you looking to put into this?
