lawn weed

Unwanted yard plant

A lawn weed is any plant growing in a lawn that the gardener doesn't want there.

Dandelions, clover, and crabgrass are common lawn weeds, though what counts as a weed depends on the lawn keeper's preferences—some cultivate clover deliberately.

I spent Saturday pulling lawn weeds.
