What all did you do to replace it? I’m starting to reclaim my yards in my new place (finally getting dandelions!!) and my initial attempt at clover didn’t take as much as I wanted it to. Really want to get my yard to as close as native and wildlife friendly as my city will allow.
For better or worse, my local/state government doesn’t consider them noxious weeds because they’re so firmly established that we can never get rid of them.
Not op but I grow pollinator gardens in my community garden which typically attracts bees, hummingbirds etc.; check with your local nursery because there should be a native plant seed mix you can buy.
You may be a little late in the season (assuming northern hemisphere) for most seed mixes because I’ve mostly seen suggested sowing in fall or late spring

Depending on where you live the common dandelion may not be a native plant. They were introduced to North America from Europe.

More not worth the cost to fight, so embrace it. Our city stoped spraying for broadleaf maybe 5 years back.

For what it’s worth, it’s perfect planting time where I am, still another week of potential frost in southern Alberta, Canada.
