Where do you live and what type of grass do you have?

I think this will be easy, but we need more info.

Where do you live?

What kind of grass do you have?

How high/low are you mowing?

What is your watering schedule? How often and for how long do you water?

When were the last 2 times you fertilized and what did you use?

I live in South Carolina. Excuse my ignorance but i'm not 100% sure on the grass type but I believe it to be centipede. I'm currently cutting my weeds as low as they go. I don't recall the last time I fertilized the yard. Definitely over a year ago. I am not currently on a watering schedule. I do whatever I can to prevent the weeds from growing faster but understand that i'm also preventing any grass from growing.

Hi there Jeffrey, your yard would recover just fine if you can get started on a regular program of lawn care. Start by asking your neighbors what the type of turf is and then do the homework. That's what I did when we moved here.

Does it stay green in winter? If so it's a cool season turf and will struggle once the temperatures rise.

When were your pictures taken?

No matter the type most turf needs quite a bit of effort to look good, and all need weekly irrigation (rain or the sprinklers) and fertilizer applied at least once per year when actively growing.

I usually feed my grass only 1-2 per season with a granular slow release product like Lesco.

I also apply a Lesco pre-emergent mainly to deal with weeds before they germinate but still get our share of dandelions.

It would help a lot as a point of reference to know what kind of turf you have.
