Remedy 1: Knock it out with nitrogen.
Generally speaking, a well-fertilized lawn keeps all weeds at bay, but ensuring proper nitrogen levels will give you an extra edge against clover and crab grass.
It’s a lack of nitrogen that allows weeds to thrive.
clover especially can produce its own nitrogen—so it’s got a leg-up on a lawn that’s low in nitrogen.
Try a nitrogen-rich weed-and-feed formula.
Organic fertilizers might do the trick if you have a small amount of weed, but if your lawn is becoming overrun, choose a standard fertilizer that is not slow release.
Feeding your lawn regularly, every 6 to 8 weeks, during the growing season with a lawn fertilizer helps your lawn stay thick and lush, making it less welcoming to weeds like crabgrass by leaving little space for them to grow.
Remedy 2: Remove it manually.
Don’t give clover and crabgrass a chance to spread.
Get rid of small clumps as soon as you notice them by gently loosening the soil around the base with a spade or your fingers, then plucking the clover up.
Be sure you get all of the roots.
Remedy 3: Deprive it of oxygen and sunlight.

Place plastic sheeting, a garbage bag will do, on top of it, securing the corners so it won’t blow away.
This ought to kill the weed in a few weeks, but use this method only on large patches; otherwise, surrounding grass will probably experience collateral damage.
Remedy 4: Douse it with a homemade mixture.
