WOW! Lots of response... Thank you.

I've been gone for a few days, sorry for the delay. I have posted 3
pics of the grass, although I don't know if you'll be able to figure
it out as to what it is:

If someone can help first identify and secondly provide a cure, I
would appreciate it.

the grass. )


It's not crabgrass from what I can see. As I posted earleir, here
in NJ crabgrass is still small plants, so in your area, it should be
even less noticeable. And crabgrass looks like a crab, ie, the
grass grows more outward and close to the ground. What you have
appears to be some other type of grass like weed.

And that's the bad news. Because if it is some type of grass, then
it's doubtful there is an effective selective herbicide. It looks
like you're letting this grow up to seed which is a mistake, as if you
let it develop seed, that just develops more of it. And where is the
turf grass? From what I can see, there isn't much.

If you want to get rid of it, I think you're going to have to get it
identified, as I doubt the typical general purpose products will
work. Given the overall look of this, I'm starting to agree with
Peter Pan that a lot more work may be in order. Given that you have
so much of this, and not much decent grass that is apparent, I'd
probably do nothing till late August. Then do a renovation. Kill off
everything with Roundup, aerate, then re-seed with a quality seed of
the right type using a slice seeder.
