Those three-ranked leaves are a clue it's a sedge, though I can't begin
to identify it from that photo.
I've successfully killed small populations of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus
esculentus) by putting on a cotton glove over a nitrile glove, and
then dipping finger and thumb into some glyphosate. Draw the leaves
of the sedge between finger and thumb.. then move on to the next plant.
Tedious, but effective.

I can't help but wonder what kind of lawn it'd make on it's own. (please
forgive me!) I have problems with a stompy dog where NOTHING will grow.
If this stuff is that tough, I wonder if it can survive a Border Collie?
I'm constantly pulling nut grass out of my herb garden so I do have some
available...
