Looks to me like tall fescue, improved version.
It's gonna die if you cut it that short all the time.

i think it's a weed. it is in my yard. it grows in clumps like starbursts rather than a spreading grass. i pull it up so the augustine can spread in

Another vote for Fescue. It's absolutely not St. Augustine. What kind of permanent grass do you want and what do you have? What kind of seed are you using?

Off topic....you sure do need to sharpen the blades on your mower, or buy new ones. Grass blades should be cut sharply, not shredded.

Not st Augustine...... Looks like something my mom always called monkey grass but not sure what the actual name is

Thanks everyone... I know its not Monkey grass but I am going with Fescue... :-)

BTW, bought new blades today :-)

Take a picture of it and take it to your ag center for I. D.
