Re: What type of grass are these?

Hi @SpiderPig,

 

Number one could possibly be couch or a nutgrass if it has bulbs. Number two is likely some type of summer crabgrass. 

 

Were you looking to remove them or just interested in what they could possibly be? Using a Yates Zero Weeding Herbicide Applicator Brush and non-selective weedkiller would be an effective way of removing them. You simply need to go around with the applicator and paint the tips of their leaf blades with the poison.

 

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Re: What type of grass are these?

Thank you for your reply @MitchellMc .

I was only wondering if they were grass or weeds, so I can exterminate them. 🙂

Do you know what type of grass these are?

I want to buy seeds to repair my lawn, but I am not too sure what type they are.

These 3 photos are the same, I zoomed it in for more clearer image.

TIA

Re: What type of grass are these?

Is this a different lawn to what you asked about previously @SpiderPig

 

Mitch and Adam did their best to identify your lawn and provide advice on next steps.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

Re: What type of grass are these?

It seems I have 4 different types of grass on each side of my house. This is the other side to the ones I previously asked about. 😅

I am certain this is not buffalo. I was told by in-store member this is kikuyu. But last time Adam adviced my other side was couch. So I am a bit confused which seed to purchase.

BTW Mitch and Adam's advices were extremely helpful. I managed to fix my lawns well. Really appreciated it.

Hi @SpiderPig

 

I'm sure @MitchellMc and @Adam_W will be glad to hear that their recommendations helped. If you run into any other issues with your lawn, please let us know.

Re: What type of grass are these?

Hi @SpiderPig,

 

The two types of grass I initially identified will be considered weeds as they are invasive to your lawn.

 

The set of three images you posted yesterday do appear to be Kikuyu. It's typically a bit coarser than couch, with a wider blade and lays flatter. Identifying grass types can be a bit of guesswork, as there are many different types of each variety.
