Re: How to fix weed-infested lawn?

Looks like Paspalum to me @alwinkm. Mitch has previously provided this advice for dealing with this pesky weed:

 

I'd recommend using David Grays 500ml Crab Grass and Clover Killer Selective Herbicide, as it will control Paspalum and a variety of other common lawn weeds. If these weeds are amongst a Buffalo or Kikuyu lawn, then spot spraying is recommended as some lawn damage is expected. If this is an area where you'd like to remove everything and start again, you might be better off with a non-selective herbicide like Round-Up.  

 

I'll tag @MitchellMc to see if he can add anything, but if you do proceed please remember your personal protective equipment when spraying and mixing herbicides including a face mask, safety glasses, a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and enclosed footwear.

Hi @alwinkm,

 

You might like to use a Yates Zero applicator wand to apply the herbicide @Jason has mentioned above. That will prevent overspray onto the surrounding grass and potentially killing it too.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
