We are planning on putting our house on the market in 3-4 weeks. The
large lawn needs some work to improve its looks. The front lawn is
thick and free of weeds. But even with frequent watering, it is looking
brownish-yellow in a few areas. Maybe it needs some fertilizer. If so,
what kind would be best?

What species of grasses do you have?. And is your mower blade sharp?

Our back lawn is green enough. But in areas that we replanted grass a
couple of months ago, a lot of weeds (look like small dandelions) have
appeared. Is there some type of treatment that would take care of the
weeds quickly?

Hawkweeds. Water well, grab and pull. Overseed.
