Hi Dan,
Healthy soil equals healthy turf grass which allows for less weeds. Feed the soil organic matter such as a topdressing of 1/4" of compost in the spring and fall and the worms will mix it in for you. The grass will be healthier and grow thicker allowing less weeds to take hold. It would need to be a different mindset if you are interested. You can use organics like corn gluten as a pre-emergent that also feeds the roots of the grass and won't harm beneficial microbes in the soil.
