how to remove Japanese Clover from my lawn #420266

Asked August 09, 2017, 3:53 PM EDT

how can I remove Japanese Clover from my lawn other than pulling it up by hand? Last year I had a small, 4x5' patch in my shaded backyard. Now, today it's taken over 80% of the backyard grass area. Please give me your best solution. Thanks. Greg
