Hi @dogbural  

That looks like Kikuyu grass. It can get very invasive if you don't keep on top of it. You can spray the edges with something like Slasher, which is eco friendly, or as I do, dig out the runners to control the spread from the lawn area. It is a tough grass that loves the warm summer weather and is great for areas with high activity on them.

Hi @dogbural,

Thank you for your question. It is great to see you've already received some advice from @bergs, thank you for that.

I would agree that it is kikuyu grass and would also recommend the method they've given for removing it. 

There are stronger, non-selective chemical options such as Yates Zero Weed Killer Super Concentrate that can be applied directly to the leaves using Yates Zero Weeding Herbicide Applicator Brush, but they are hazardous, and all safety guidelines should be followed and all personal protective equipment worn if you were to use them. 

Manual removal using something like the Cyclone Stainless Steel Weeder will usually get you the best results.

Allow me to tag some of our garden gurus to see if they have any advice, @Noelle, @mich1972, @homeinmelbourne.

Please reach out if you have any further questions.
