Identify Grassy Weeds in the Lawn including Dallisgrass, Crabgrass, Goosegrass, and Bahiagrass

Learn to identify grassy weeds in the lawn including dallisgrass, crabgrass, goosegrass, bahiagrass, carpetgrass, and annual foxtail. I also share some lawn care tips on weed control for these weeds. I plan to film a future videos testing a powerful herbicide combination on these tough to control weeds. This video is mostly just for identification.

This is also where I have many other resources such as Weed Control and Fertilization Academy
Lawn Care Master Academy
Lawn Care Letters
Weed Control and Fertilization Documents including programs, pricing, etc
Mosquito video course
And more...

Here a few companies I recommend. Some links are affiliate links.

I did Google plant search after photographing your plant at 7:28. I looks like Paspalum guadaloupense also described broadleaf carpet grass. I have been watching your videos for quite some time and I admire the fact that you have taken the time not only to identify the weeds, but also have obtained first-hand knowledge of how to control and/or eradicate them. You have quite an encyclopedia of knowledge in your mind. Very impressive, to say the least.

Thank you for making this video! I live in South Carolina and I am just now learning about the different weeds in my lawn. It seems I have nothing but weeds so I’ve decided to let the carpet grass grow and kill the rest. I have the hard orange clay in most of my yard that is common around our Lake Murray. In the back I have decided to embrace the moss. We’ll see how it goes.

Great videos. I’m about to renovate a 150k sq ft lawn that’s full of Nimblewill. Hoping 3 apps of Tenacity will do it.

Great video Jason! You have really helped me to identify weeds in my lawn. I have almost all of them. 😁

[houliemon]

I know the name of that last weed ! It's called a SOB !

[collierk]

Do you have any videos on repairing compacted soil in a yard?

[myredrose]

Thanks again for helping me keep my memory in check on these weeds, so very helpful 😀 👍

Thank you for identifying Goose grass for me. I recently had my entire backyard ravaged because of a new septic system leach field. This stuff was everywhere! It is a beast to get rid of. The bigger it gets, the meaner it gets...Makes ya cuss a lot!

This video is not what I thought it was going to be, weed ID in Michigan is a lot different. 😂🥃

I have all of those types of grasses in my yard. I gave up years ago on trying to control it. We had a long dry hot spell early in July that turned most all of the grass brown and then it rained every day for a week and the lawn revived but crabgrass and and other weedy grasses have taken over and the lawn needs mowing about every four or five days.

7:35 we call that Hilograss here in Hawaii. In Hilo, that’s what most lawns are

[jonesey]

Do y’all get KR bluestem in Alabama? I’m guessing not since I’ve never seen it in any of your videos Jason.

Great video! Thanks from Rhode Island.

Late in the season but would love to see a yard go from full of weeds to mostly grass

In the south also (FL WPB) I removed some old sod in a crescent drive way section and was trying to establish white clover. I randomly get these strange thin stalk like stems, that sorta of look like the ones you have in the video, but more fuzzy and open. I try and remove them as they appear, but since they grow taller than the clover, if you leave them alone, it makes the area look 'fuzzy'. (far away). Luckily the heats been killing them and just a handful left since I can't use weed killer since it kills clover too. I like the creeping effect of the white clover and the flower in that section because it's a little drought resistant and there's nothing in there except for plants. plus it's low growing but I randomly get those thin stalking things I described and it's annoying. If I mow over the area it's fine and everything looks green and normal but I'm trying to avoid mowing that area because I think I'm making them reproduce. They also hard to target up until they started appearing a little bit more longer because they just look like a normal stem.

I’m in Savannah GA, Goosegrass is rampant, broom sedge, there’s also a weed that I can’t identify. It looks like a smaller version of goosegrass but has a different looking seed head. Tenacity turns it white but doesn’t really kill it. I’m afraid to bump the concentration when I make a batch of tenacity because I’m afraid of killing everything else.

I've nuked nutsedge grass and Dallasgrass with a 50/50 Image and glosphate mix and it's still beating me! Since moving to Alabama, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that grows well here, is cancer, weeds and the Roll Tide Football coach's salary.

Thanks for this video. I’ve done all the weed scientific weed identifiers but your no-nonsense approach is probably better. I’ve used celsius, certainty, and drive xlr8. Still chasing weeds and I thought I misidentified the species but I probably just need to do multiple applications.
