I would get the company to sort this but only if it somehow came under the agreement ie if rotavation was required it was done but they came back then its there responsibility otherwise i would somehow invest in digging it all over and removing you can get industrial type weeders but these are harmful effective but harmful to animals etc

Daffodils and tulips are only in leaf for a relatively short period after flowering, you could spray with weedkiller but this will of course kill the grass as well and is unlikely to kill all, the only other way to get rid of them is to dig them out and the chances of removing them all this season is slim as they produce small bulbs from the main bulb, very difficult to eradicate completely, Iris really need to be dug out. Great pity that all the bulbs were not removed at time of lawn preparation, the bulbs even when dormant are fairly easy to spot, sorry that I can't suggest a quick fix for you.

Unfortunately as James said there's no quick fix. You would have to dig them out with a long spade and put the turf back exactly as you find it which is time consuming. The easy way would be to just mow them down each spring but I realise it's not what you want with a new lawn.

1. Regular Mowing and Trimming: Maintaining a consistent mowing and trimming routine can help keep flowers in check. By cutting the grass at a suitable height, you can prevent flowers from spreading and encourage healthy lawn growth. 2. Herbicide Application: Using selective herbicides specifically designed to target broadleaf weeds and flowers can effectively eliminate them from your lawn. It is crucial to carefully follow the instructions provided by the product manufacturer and take necessary precautions to avoid damage to desired plants. 3. Manual Removal: For a more hands-on approach, manually removing flowers from your lawn can be effective. This can involve pulling them out by hand or using specialized tools like dandelion diggers. Ensuring that you remove the entire root system can help prevent regrowth. 4. Improving Soil Conditions: Flowers often thrive in nutrient-deficient or compacted soil. Regularly aerating and fertilizing your lawn can improve soil conditions and promote healthy grass growth, reducing the space and resources available for flowers to flourish. 5. Reseeding and Overseeding: If your lawn has significant bare patches, reseeding or overseeding can help fill in these areas with healthy grass. A denser and healthier lawn will naturally crowd out flowers, limiting their growth and spread. It's important to note that the most effective solution may vary depending on the specific types of flowers and grass species in your lawn. Considering the local climate, soil conditions, and seeking advice from lawn care professionals or local gardening experts can provide valuable insights and tailored recommendations for your particular situation.
