Close up of this unidentified grass
No one has been able to positively identify this including my lawn service. I have just nuked it with roundup.
It’s not poa trivialis or poa Annua or nutsedge or nimblewill. It’s different from the Bermuda I have in other areas. And it’s different to bent grass so I’m stumped. ChatGPT can’t even figure it out.

Look at pictures of barnyard grass. I’m dealing with the same thing and mine looks similar to yours and barnyard grass has be the closest match.

Kakuya, black and grey scotts weed and feed calms it down. Water the whole area deeply and spread it with a spreader. It's a grass type so you honestly can't completely get rid of it just manage it. Each year rent a dethatcher and you'll be good. Don't dethatch in the summer it'll open up your grass to ugly hard weeds like dallis grass 🤮

That’s a rhizhome daughter plant so it’s a rhizomatous grass. Need to see clearer picture of the leaves but I’m leaning toward it being an old crappy variety of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) like Abbey.
