That doesn't look like crabgrass to me- more like a wild ass stretch of St.
Augustine or Bermuda gone nuts.
I do think you may have scored a bullseye with St Augustine.
It is growing in a area that is very shaded and very damp
(actually, it gets pretty soggy right in that spot). I think
that environment is perfect for St Augustine and not suitable
for crabgrass.
I can have another shot at adjusting my irrigation to prevent
the excessive moisture. However, my previous attempts have
been a complete failure. I should reconsider the possibility
of a severe drainage problem in that spot or even an underground
leak in the irrigation system and/or even the main water supply
which runs through that area.
Hmmm, 3 out of my 4 irrigation zones have pipes in that
vincinity and the main city supply runs through there too.
Methinks I have a leak!
