Could anyone help me to identify which lawn type is it?

[jen5]

I lived in Canberra, and the grass seems to love sun. From what I learned now, it might be tall fescue or ryegrass? I am not sure. I would really appreciate if someone can identify it can I can buy the correct seed to fix the yard.

My first thoughts it is kikuyu grass

But a closer look it might be blue Grass which is cold tolerant grass and makes sense it is in Canberra for the frosty lawns.

Now who stocks blue grass seed specifically, no one I can tell.

A   But if you let your lawn grow and go to seed you will have the exact same grass then.

B  there is a Scots cool climate seed in a box mixed varieties that promises a tough lawn and drought resistant come watering restrictions from the Corin Dam

As a teenager 14  started my first summer watering and lawn mowing service for $10 a lawn lol big money those days. I was walking the streets pushing a lawn mower and fuel door knocking and card dropping. I don't remember the grass types though.

Hi @jen5,

Thank you for your question.

I'm not certain what this grass is, but I don't think it is tall fescue, kikuyu or bluegrass. It looks like it might even be native grass or a grass plant as opposed to a lawn-type grass.

Ryegrass seems possible as the seedheads look similar.

If possible, could you upload a close-up of the seedheads against the concrete like in your first two images?

Can you also upload a photo of the whole lawn, not just a patch?

It appears to be growing in clumps, is that the same for the entire lawn?

We'll have to do some more investigating to be sure.

Allow me to tag @Noelle for her thoughts.

Hi @jen5 

It is possibly a rye grass but don't hold me to that!
