Our lawn is covered with this weed?
What is it and how do we get rid of it?

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

The pic isnt very clear, but it looks like white clover. Do the flowers have three leaves?0

Could also be common mouse ear, can you take a clearer close up pic?0

One of the speedwells, maybe Veronica serpyllifolia Thyme-leaved Speedwell.
If it’s in your lawn just leave it unless you are obsessed in having a very boring sterile one.6 -

Once told by a gardener, there’s no such thing as a weed. Just an unwanted flower..
you could try going onto the RHS website, and use their plant identifier…1 -
I would second the vote for common mouse ear- prolific self-seeder and good at ducking under a mower bladeSmart Tech Specialist with Octopus Energy Services (all views my own). 4.44kW SW Facing in-roof array with 3.6kW Givenergy Gen 2 Hybrid inverter and 9.5kWh Givenergy battery. 9kW Panasonic Aquarea L (R290) ASHP. #gasfree since July ‘230

Almost certainly Thyme-leaved Speedwell; my lawn is full of it. It's green - can't complain.
Google lense is ace for identifying plants, I use it all the time0 -
It looks so pretty in the photo.My neighbour has sent me plenty of unwanted weeds into my lawn from hers. Keep the grass strong with a good uric feed and don't cut low.You'll find the unwanted things go as the grass takes over.Or you can say you are being in with the nurturing crowd and keeping a wild lawn for insects and birds
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
