Just a timeline to see if i can bring this dead yard back to life, without doing a overhaul. I sent a soil sample to a lab to get tested. The results will take a couple weeks to know if i need to add lime, potash, phosphorus, iron, etc. While im waiting, i plan to add seeds and starter fertilizer to get some grass growing. The other day, i pulled all the weeds out of the front and back yard. I would say, there was about a thousand weeds total. There were weeds under weeds with different roots going to more weeds. My body is feeling all that 7 hours of hard ass work.
Earlier this spring, I tried to reduce the germination of weeds, by mowing high and adding pre and post emergent. I didnt pull any weeds, since i didnt have grass seeds to fill in the holes. I just added fertilizer with weed and feed to help slow them down. We had a drought this summer and the grass went dormant. Now that the weather is cooling down, i plan to lay seeds and put top soil over it. I plan to use starter fertilizer to kick in the germination. Then a final application of winterizer until spring. Im getting ahead of myself here and let the pic speak of what i am working with.
I did the front before i started taking pics. This is the aftermath.

The bin is full with just the front yard weeds and some sod from the garden strips
Had to borrow the neighbors bin to finish the back yard
The backyard shows you how it was in the front. I ran out of light to take pics of the backyard after it was pulled. Refer to front yard pics.
All the green is weeds, not grass
