No patches but it does have a lot of weeds and moss.

I've tried to remove a lot with spot weeders but there seems to be an
ever growing patch of clovers.

Is it to late to apply an all over lawn weed and feed now to remove
the clovers and various other weeds?


It depends on your climate. Where I live (upper Midwest USA) we're
heading right into the best time of year (mid-August to mid-September)
to treat lawns for weeds or to lay sod or apply grass seed.


If not what should I go for?


Just spot treat them. It might take a few treatments for clover.


That's what I'd do. Also moss might indicate low pH and you may want
to lime.


Low soil pH has nothing to do with moss. Think moisture and shade instead.
