a few more closeups please- the first looked like crabgrass, but there was also more than one weed…

Most of those weeds are in my front yard which I mowed a couple of days ago. I’ll probably have to wait a couple days to get more pics, it grows really quick. I’ll get some more of the weeds in the back tomorrow.Thanks…

#1 and #2 look the same, and I have BOTH in my front yard. It spreads rapidly and grows in any vacant space. . .

I’m pretty sure it is a crabgrass. I used the Ortho crabgrass concentrate, mixed with the proper amount of water in a hand pump sprayer. I tried to be even, and all of it turned yellow in 1 to 3 days. I hit some of it again, and those parts died out within a week — raked it out of the lawn.

I’m in ATL, GA, and it began appearing in mid-April, so I’m guessing crabgrass pre-emergent would have prevented it. It dies out in the first or second freeze and will leave big brown spots where it was (if prevelant).

Is there something that will kill ALL of these different weeds? What can I try?

Roundup will kill the weeds, grass, shrubs, and even furniture painted green. If you want a selective herbicide then I need to know what type grass that is (I can’t identify it from the pictures).

Actually, round-up will not adequately control the globe sedge or the crab grass. I do agree that we need to know what type of grass you have.

I am not real sure what kind of grass it is. Some Centipede & some Bermuda…I THINK.

Hey Alex your funny as hell.That’s the 2nd time you have cracked me up with your humor.Keep up the good work!

Luis…!!!!!!! <thanks>

Roundup kills crabgrass and will top burn sedge. My “real” point was to provide help we need info (grass type + weed types minimum, location helps too). Many selective weed killers available but wrong one and you just as well have used roundup.
