How to fix a lawn filled with weeds?

[parisrose]

Hey team,

We have a very large area of lawn filled with weeds, a lot of cape weed, sour sob, marshmellow, winter grass, summer grass, cats ear… literally everything! The grass is kikuyu grass.

We have been researching how to remove the weeds, whether we need a complete lawn Reno or not, eg scarrifying.

I'm concerned though if we scarify, we spread more weed seeds… can I please get some confirmation on how to tackle this?

Do we poison weeds first, remove,then scarify? Thanks all.
