Help Needed for Lawn Weed Identification
Comments (12)The KBG probably won't choke out the fescue, but it will fill in bare spots. However, KBG spreads via rhizomes rather than stolons. Rhizomes should be below ground. You may want to take some of the weedy grass (including some roots) to your extension service to your extension service to get an accurate ID.

Comments (2)Carpet grass is a sod forming type of grass. The picture shows a clumping type of grass. Do you have a picture of the weed with a seed head on it? And wipe the fingerprints off the lens of your cell phone before taking pictures....See Morevml68
