When I look at those photos, I don't see lawn.  I see clover, and bunch
of weeds that have been mowed.  I also see a base that looks more like
pit-run gravel than turf or loam.

I'd kill it with weed killer, then pull up the top layer and haul it
out.  Then bring in about 5 inches of good topsoil.  Put down sod in
the front, and see the rest.  Water it good.  Or take the op****tunity
to put in sprinklers.

Big project.  Probably take a month or more.  Take some time to come
up with an overall landscaping plan.  You may be able to put in some
kind of scene in front with timbers and wood chips that makes your
house look like a million bucks, and cut down on the amount of lawn
that you have to take care of.
