r/Grass

I’ve used some weed chemicals and it’s killed the dandelions and the clovers, but this is still everywhere and it doesn’t look like it’s dying at all. It is very easy to pull up, but it’s literally everywhere and even though I have seated, I have to pull it away before I can see where the new seed is attempting to actually come up through it if I could kill it without killing the grass, I would love to know what it is so I could buy the proper tool to kill it with

Bought a new house and the grass is well not great! Full of stickers! Full of runners! It’s starting to get hot so just mowed low to get the bulk of stickers but know I am hurting grass growth. Do I need to power rake it and aerate it with weed and feed? Know there’s not much I can do besides water and cut this summer but suggestions for now to set up better management in the fall. The bare area was a flowerbed that they used chewed up tires as mulch and as much as I’ve tried to get it all up I still find pieces as pictured. Yes this is new to me so talk like it to me. I don’t mind doing the research but need to know what areas to start. Soil samples will be obtained soon.

Northern Utah, Need help identifying what’s growing In my kbg sod that was installed last fall

Dead grass from after winter. How do I fix this or atleast make my grass not look so ugly. Thanks

Put in new zoysia sod last March. Watered it properly and it was perfectly green and growing, matching the rest of the yard all through the summer. Then this year it just didn’t come out of hibernation. Is it possibly still coming out?

Nothing weird happened over there that I can think of.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this thin, needle like grass in my yard? Also, can you tell me what it is?

Long story short, my front yard was in rough shape and it’s taken a lot of work to get it back to where it is now, only to end up dealing with a quackgrass takeover.

From everything I’ve read, getting rid of it is a pretty tedious process that usually involves carefully applying glyphosate to individual blades. Because of that, I reached out to a local lawn care company to get their opinion. They told me they handle this kind of issue often and typically use a blanket treatment for “grassy weeds” across the affected area, though it can take 2–3 applications.

In hindsight, I probably should’ve asked if their approach guarantees eliminating the quackgrass. They already came out and did the first treatment yesterday, but it almost sounds too good to be true. Then again, maybe I just went too far down the rabbit hole reading about quackgrass online.

Anyone deal with this in the past? Any success?

Just moved into my first home I’m located in Miami and there’s alot of dead grass how could I bring this back to life where do I even start please help

Pretty happy with the lines :)

It’s growing in! Patchy just like my first beard, but more time and effort and she will be a beauty.

Hardest part is keeping the little one off of it. I told her the little ones are her little brothers and sisters so that works for now.

St Augustine grass, outside of Dallas Tx. I had a contractor install new sod by the curb 2 or 3 years ago. I'm not sure whether they didn't prep correctly or what, but its never looked good.

Any ideas on what i can do to fix?

We have lived in our house for seven years now, and never had this problem in the past. Suddenly, this year there is a thick patch that won’t grow in and it looks like thatch. We aerated and seeded per usual at the end of the season. I usually lay a preemergent + fertilizer but not sure how to handle. Do I rake then seed?

We built a house and moved in about a year ago and I’ve been working hard to get a lawn established. We are in southern IL (St. Louis Area) and our property is very hilly and wooded. The soil is heavy clay loam type. I’ve been employing this strategy: TTTF/KBG blend on the flat areas surrounding the house (the areas I want looking sharp but also durable). And using K-31 for the sloped areas where I am trying to get fast growth to help control erosion. Recently this stuff has been showing up and I can’t tell what it is. It doesn’t look like any of the other grass types I’ve planted. It’s primarily in the areas covered with straw erosion blankets but it’s also gotten into the areas around the house. Anyone know what it is? It’s got wider blades like KY-31 but a much lighter green and more carpet like than what I’ve seen with the other KY-31 areas. Any insights would be appreciated!

I’m a DIY type of person but don’t have much knowledge, is it as simple as spray weed killer let it die and replant grass seeds ? Thanks for any info !
