Hint, hint: Take a close-up so we can see detail. It all looks the same to me at that distance. I saw one blade that appears to be nutgrass - and if it is, resign yourself now. I only fight with nutgrass that pops up in veggie or flower beds; the rest of the yard is on its own.

Thank you for the reply. Here are some close ups.

Now on this part of the yard it appears to be a different grass (I think).
What type of grass is this?

Here is a picture with the 2 different grasses together.

First three close up looks like what I call crabgrass. I grows from a central base and has multiple shoots. Bright green color. Does not send out runners that send down roots. Crabgrass is a summer annual and dies out in fall/winter.

Pics 4 & 5 look like young Bermuda. It should have a blue green color and will send out stolons on top of the soil that will produce roots from every node.

Here is a link that might be useful: Bermuda grass / crabgrass

Crab grass does not send out runners?

Pics 4&5 looks like Bermuda then.
I must have 2 types of Bermuda growing because of the different colors and texture. The grass in 4 & 5 is really rough feeling. other parts of my lawn the grass is finer and much softer. i was thinking maybe ST Augustine maybe.
Thanks for your help. This yard sat unattended for a long time and I am trying to bring life to it.

I agree, two different types of bermuda...I have 3 in my lawn mixture...

Definitely St. Augustine in 1st pic. I really can't tell if what you're featuring in subsequent photos is any different though it all looks like St. A to me. St. A does run and put down roots, but is easily pulled up in long strings. It has pretty much taken over Bermuda in my yard and I am thrilled that it has. It's spongy, easy to walk on, looks good and is low maintenance.

Okay Thanks.

Like I said earlier the yard was left unattended for years.

Can St Augustine lay dormant for years then come back?

Thanks again!!!!
