Best Answer

You can overseed into the existing lawn but will not have much success with weed control. Your best bet is to either chemically or manually remove the vegetation and seed into that. You will have some weeds return during germination but if you keep up with the pulling by hand as the seed germinates you will have a nice new lawn.

P. S. Make sure if you use chemical to see how long it is recommended to wait before seeding into the treated area. Good luck!
