Default Help - my lawn's a mess

Forget the lawn.

Dig it up.

Grow proper plants instead.

My husband is a lawn man but I am more a flower girl so we have this little
battle where I keep nibbling away at the edges and he keeps mowing the heads
off the flowers too close to the grass!

Hi - I'm new here - I've tried the FAQ, but it's a bit vague on details.

I must admit I'm not much of a gardener and my lawn is a mess.

I've run the mower over it about once a month for the last ten years, but
that's all.

As I see it there's two main problems:

Firstly it's as uneven as an uneven thing. There's dips, hollows, even
almost mini-hills.
Secondly it's full of weeds and dandelions, which seem resistant to the
lawn food/weed killer combination I got from Wyevale.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
