Default Making an ugly lawn more attractive

Weed and Feed helps to control weeds. You should also fertilize at
least once a year, ideally 3 times a year (spring, summer, fall). You
should overseed in the fall if your grass is thin. You can also spot
seed areas that are bare.

Best to get a book on lawns from your local library as above is best
applied to the Northeast.

I have a large lawn that has some broad-leaf weeds (e.g. dandelions) and
a few spots with thinning grass. At Walmart and Target I see bags of
lawn additives like Weed & Feed and Turf Builder. Will spreading one of
those products result in a more attractive lawn? Any better
alternatives? Do I have to spread lawn seed too? I live in Western
Washington state. Thanks for any advice. Mike
