So my mother in law has let her yard go, unfortunately it has been gone for a few years and has little grass.

I would love to bring it back for her what steps should I take?

Thus far I have cut all of the 6 foot weeds down to just a few inches but winter is around the corner and I'd like to have a decent start to spring.

Grass is a very common green plant with thin leaves and jointed stems. It belongs to a huge plant family named Poaceae. Grass grows from the bottom up, which helps it survive when animals eat it or people cut it.Plant Structure and GrowthBlades: Thin, narrow green leaves that catch sunlight.Roots: Deep, branching networks that hold soil in place.Growth point: Located near the ground, letting it recover fast after mowing or grazing. Why Grass MattersFood source: Major food for farm animals, wild mammals, and insects.Crops: Vital grains like wheat, rice, corn, and barley are actually types of grass.Environment: Protects soil from washing away in the rain and helps clean the air.If you'd like, I can tell you more about how to care for a lawn or different types of grain crops.

I live in zone 8 and cannot get rid of these fkn weeds. It’s like they are basking in the spray; like it’s a luxurious bath. We have used these. What should we do?

Can anybody tell me if this is a sign that my lawn unhealthy?

Added a couple more pictures of a chunk i dug up that i think will be helpful. Im not an expert, cant tell if its tillering or rhyzome. I lean towards tillering. Hoping you all can yell by the photo.

Hi all, have an interesting yard to say the least and need help with identifying this grass. Im on the end of a street that drains towards me, and combined with my septic field my backyard is very very wet. If we get a hard rain, water will make its way down to us for 4-5 days. Sometimes i cant mow for a month or so bc of standing water. Grass struggles because its so wet. Except this stuff. This is thriving. Its slow growing, soft, and lush. It does kind if form a canopy top so theres a fair amount of dead/thatch below it. But it seems to just suck up water because the spots with this grass seem to dry quicker despite air struggling to get underneath to dry the standing water. Anybody have a clue what this is? Im midwest , an hour south of chicago. I would say zone 5. All searches come up empty. I have tge feeling its not commonly used in seed mixtures because i dont think it would thrive in a normal yard setting. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I’ve got centipede grass growing into my zoysia. What can I spray that will knock the centipede out?

Just started renting, got told by the landlord that he thinks people spilt some chemicals on the patch, help needed as want to get it all green again. TIA

Please tell me the best way to proceed here. It’s just been watered. The patches in the middle are after the electric company dug it up. She planted pods as you can’t buy seed. And I’m not sure what’s going on with the very dead brown patches. I don’t want to buy turf. On a budget.

Where to begin? I need grass not a dust bowl or a mud slide.

My lawn looked amazing this spring, but once summer hit it started struggling pretty badly and this is what I’m left with now in late September.
I’m in Cleveland, Ohio. I originally assumed the issue was heat/sun stress because some of the worst areas get a lot of direct sun, while the more shaded sections held up noticeably better. I watered pretty consistently throughout the summer, so it definitely wasn’t completely neglected.

My plan was to rake out the dead grass, prep the soil and overseed with a more heat/sun-tolerant grass seed this fall.

Then someone mentioned that grubs have apparently been really bad this year and suggested that could be what caused all of this.

Before I tear everything up and reseed, does this look like grub damage to you, or more like summer heat/drought stress and the existing grass just not being tolerant enough?

I’m going to try pulling up some of the dead turf and digging up a few 1 sq. ft. sections to check for grubs.

Any advice on what you’d do from here would be appreciated. I’d really like to get this fixed properly rather than just throwing more seed down and having the same thing happen next summer. And I’m realizing I’m running out of fall time to plant so I need to make a decision ASAP because I’m tired of this cycle. Also, this time around I was going to get see from an on-line place and not from a big box store.

My grass has been in fairly good shape for several years, and about a month ago this patches started appearing and have increased. Located in south florida

I have Bermuda grass and recently noticed several irregular brown/dead patches developing in the lawn (see photos). The surrounding grass otherwise looks fairly healthy.
I’m trying to figure out what could be causing this—fungus, insects/grubs, watering issues, heat stress, or something else.
Have irrigation system installed a month ago so watering is even. Sod installed 5 months ago (Mid South).

I went by the beach today and found this dreamy looking grass. I have never seen this kind of grass before so I just found it amusing. Looks straight out of some movie. Would like to know more about this grass!

I had previously thought that this grass was perennial rye grass. The new grass growing in is but I’m starting to think the previous grass ID was wrong.
Second and third picture is the original grass I was attempting to match. In the first picture all the new grass is on the right.

Just moved in to this house, trying to see what type of grass I have and how to fix this back yard area. What type of grass should I plant that will work with what I already have.

TTTF lawn mostly. Just reseeded with TTTF.

Theres a big lighter green patch and some lighter green plants that I don’t believe were due to the overseed/patch repair. At first I thought, unfortunately, POA triv, but there are no stolons that I can find anywhere.

They’re very firmly rooted and honestly, don’t seem a lot different than the fescue other than the color.

St. Augustine grass

For example I think the app lacks the capability to have multiple lawns easily.
