You are correct, it is. And I would spray Round Up everywhere before tearing up the yard and make sure everything is dead first. (I replaced my lawn 5+ years ago.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t stop there as it will require ongoing maintenance. My neighbor replaced their lawn 2-3 years ago but don’t do anything to maintain it (fertilizer / weed control / pest control). They threw away their money because it is now as bad as it was before they did it.

I spend a lot of time and money on my lawn (which is still far from perfect). To be honest if we were renting out our house instead of living in it, I might be inclined to be like everyone else and let it go.
