My yard is overgrown with dandelions. What is the best way to get rid of them and then fertilize/reseed?

ToadHill said:Kill the weeds first, anything with 2-4-D will get rid of them. If you don't want to spray and want to use a granular product, use it just after a rain or early in the morning when the dew is still on the leaves. Granular weed control products are very finely ground and to be effective they have to stick on the leaf.
Fertilize next and then plant seed. The best time to seed a lawn is in the cool months of fall. You may want to just kill the weeds at this point and wait for fall to seed. You'll be supprised how the grass you still have will spread to fill in the spots left by the dead weeds.
