If clover doesn't get too high, why get rid of it? It's good for the soil, cushy underfoot, and has pretty flowers. Better yet, get some of the short wildflowers and plant them also amongst the grass. I plant it deliberately.

The only way to get rid of clover is poison the whole yard, which seeps into the groundwater, and put in new grass seed or sod, or perhaps there's a select poison for clover only.

I agree too. I just bought some grass seed WITH clover. Clover is more drought tolerant, needs cutting less often and is durable. Look it up.

I have 3 solutions, all rethinking the problem. First, don't get rid of the clover. It's a legume, and is normally there as part of a grass stand, keeping your soil fertile.

I am having lawn trouble and I'm at my wits end. I did the weed and feed thing in the early spring and now the clover and it's pretty purple flowers are taking over. Any help getting rid of it is greatly appreciated.

Clover is great for enriching your soil. Just keep mowing it with the grass and as the soil gets better, the clover will die out. Weed killers are doing genetic damage to frogs so it may be doing damage to us also.
