Default HELP - weeds in new lawn

Thank You for all your advice. I decided to try to get the grass as
full as possible, thus 'smothering' out the weeds.

Thanks Guys/Gals

Broadleaf Weed Control
After you have completed the task of establishing your
lawn, you will notice broadleaf weeds germinate along
with the grass seedlings. Most broadleaf weeds can be
easily controlled with a broad spectrum herbicide after
the turf is established. It is safe to apply a herbicide
after the lawn has been mowed at least two times.
