Identify This Type Of Grass

[slomo]

Pull the weed/grass from your yard. Snap another pic without the St Aug grass around it.

Focus in tighter.

I got the same on a wider shot of your picture. Said it was St. Aug as you found.

I did three separate areas at different ranges and yes even close up and got the same results three times in a row. I am guessing it is St. Augustine Grass and it is the winner. Thank you.

Your dominant grass is St Aug right? What turf type do you have?

I want to say thank you for your help first of all. You are awesome! This is what I did I pulled a sample that would fit in the square on the Picture This app and there is a sample picture attached. I then placed the sample in the square and yes, I got a totally different result. It is Japanese Lawngrass aka Zoysia Japonica. So I am now 100% sure this is the culprit. What do you think?

Try another weed ID ap.

Look at Google images for Mondo and Lawngrass. See what you think.

Take that sprig you plucked to a plant nursery. Get their opinion.

So is Picture This wrong? I have had so many folks tell me what they think it is and well it turns out to be something different and I have had several Lawn companies try and tell me. I will look at Mondo and Lawngrass. Thank you.

Could be. It is correct on a lot of common things I've found. Try it on something you know what it is.

I named bent grass because we get it here. One photo of the clumping was revealing. Putting greens on golf courses use it because it is so fine. I use roundup to kill it.

Mondo grass has wide blades and is in the lily family. St Augustine has much larger blades and is very heavy.

I am new to turf. I know my yard is Fescue hybrid. So St. Augustine is Fescue from what I am reading online. Mondo grass looks like it, but it also looks like Japanese Lawn Grass as well. I am so lost with this.

What sort of Roundup do you use? I know there is the Weed Killer etc, but I do not want to destroy the surrounding grass unless I just use Roundup to kill it and then seed the heck out of it and maybe put sod down. I am in St. Louis, Missouri. So is the Fescue the type of grass such as St. Augustine. I am a newbie. Thank you.
