Expert Response
The plants with the white flowers look like wild violet. The other plant looks like Ajuga reptans, carpet bugle. There are several products labeled for broadleaf weed control in home lawns. I would use a product that contains at least 3 different active ingredients. Repeat applications may be necessary. These products can be purchased at any home improvement store. Always be sure to read and follow the label.
