Southern State lawn weed

Benjamin Wachuku

9 years ago

Hello all,

I live in Dothan Alabama (South Alabama). I'm a new home owner and I think I pretty much killed the grass in the backyard last year. So this year I planted Bermuda grass which came in really well but I have some other type of grassy weed (or maybe it's just a regular grass plant) trying to take over. Please help me identify it and tell me how to kill it!

Crabgrass. Personally, I just yank it whenever I see it, but it's an annual up here (and has taken years to get under control). For smaller sections, pull; for larger sections, you may need to rake it out and reseed with your desired grass.
