Alright I'm going to need all of your suggestions as this is the project I'm working on right now.

A bought a small townhouse in Ontario 7 months ago and I have a tiny yard.

The yard had mostly grass, but had a little bit of moss, crab grass, and clover. There is a small garden, and many dirt patches in the yard.

I have spread clover seed in the yard, especially in the dirt patches.

Then I weeded the garden area, removed about half the rocks but left some in the garden, I have my mother coming over next month to help me pick local garden flowers, and I had to pull a tiny tree out because it was planted right beside the foundation of the building and would eventually cause damage.

What else should be added to the lawn? Should I be pulling out the crabgrass? What wildflowers are native to Ontario?

Visit some Garden Centres near you- often they'll have seed mixes of local perennial flowers available for purchase, you just need to spread the seeds in the spring or autumn.

Also, "weeds" aren't always weeds, they're just plants that some people decided get in the way of monocultures. If it's flowering, it's feeding insects, so leave it be.

The fireflies are awesome in my area this summer and my humble yard is part of that. It's honestly so satisfying watching plants come back year after year, bigger and bigger

I'd check for native species of clover, which is invasive in most of Canada.
