    I think the only solution to your problems CC is to go to a local garden centre and ask them for a systemic weed killer. This type of weed killer kills weeds right down to the roots. Once the treatment is over with then I would leave the ground fallow for a few weeks and then re-seed with grass.

    lawn problems

    I share your pain, as our house had a gravel (yes, gravel) back yard when we bought it. We've been fighting that one ever since and are finally getting some grass growing. Anyway, here's a good site with advice on all sorts of lawn care. I've found good tips there. Good luck.
