When to start a lawn renovation?

11 years ago

Hi. I bought a new place in July in north Denver, and the yard is just completely filled with weeds (a lot of bind weed). The previous owners had trampolines, an above ground pool, dogs, etc. And it looks like they never watered it. I was wondering if now (early fall) would be a good time to go ahead and start the process of killing it off? I am thinking that I would spray it with a non-selective herbicide, and rake up all of the dead weeds that I can now. Then leave it over the winter. Redo that again in the spring, but then finish with tilling, amendment, and seeding. The only thing is that I have read the lawn should be actively growing for the herbicide to work. I haven't watered much or anything, and the grass/weeds aren't really growing anymore. Any thoughts on my plan?
