Walter Reeves on Mar 22, 2012The grass looks like fescue to me...especially if it's green now. I see violets in the first pic, henbit in the second and dandelions and maybe clover in the third. Liquid sprayed weedkillers like WeedBeater or Weed B Gon would kill them all.Helpful Reply

Deborah C on Mar 22, 2012Was it brown for the winter? If so it is a warm season grass, such as St. Augustine. If it was green throughout the winter it is a cool season grass, a type of fescue. Take a sample to your county extension office for proper ID.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Jun 11, 2015I try not to use pesticides/herbicides, not good for honey bees and butterflies or my pets. I would let the violets go, mowing will keep them controlled.Helpful Reply

Dorothy Yates Jackson on Jun 21, 2015Not like the fescue I've had here, in second picture. Look up dallis grass on google. Yes, dallis. Only way to get rid of it is to dig it up, so we just mow and dig a little here and there occasionally. Must get all the roots when soil is very, very wet. Wish there was no such thing, but such is life.Helpful Reply
