text: Actually I have a small lawn in front of my house.But due to not taking proper care of it ,wild grass and plants have grown in it.What should I do to clean the lawn and make it beautiful.( I am a real beginner in gardening)
  The climate is kinda tropical with extremities on both side. Dry hot winds in summer and dry cool winds in winter without snow.and rainfall is also heavy.About the grass type,I'm not so sure abt the kind that's growing in my lawn..but I'll try to find out.
  And I do prefer to avoid herbicides.
  And also I have a hedge around the grass with bamboo fence around it but still I find stray dogs pooping in my lawn.so that's kinda irritating.
