I've tried all types of weed killer, but none works. The weed is very small and is 4 leafs and a yellow flower. It is starting to get very thick in my lawn, what can I do to get rid of this?

Without knowing exactly what the weed is, I can't recommend an herbicide. Not all products work on all weeds, as you have discovered, and spraying the wrong thing can do more harm than good. I suggest you take a sample of the leaves and flower to University of Arizona Maricopa County Cooperative Extension. They have Master Gardener volunteers who can ID it, and recommend a solution. Here are the locations. Be sure to call to verify someone will be there.
