Is this crab grass? Something else?? It’s growing 3x faster than my actual lawn, so my lawn looks terrible 2 days after it’s cut. Most importantly – can I get rid of it??
It is a sedge. I think yellow nutsedge. You can get something called Sedgehammer to apply, usually having to order it from a specialty site that sells lawn chems. Alternatively, you can use Image, which is sold at home depot and lowes.
Image might take a few applications. It says up to 3 weeks for it to die, I usually apply it once, wait a week or two, and hit it again and it all dies out.
Read up on sedges and work in a post emergent like Image or Sedgehammer into your lawncare chem schedule.

Weed killer does not work on nutsedge. Use an herbicide like SedgeHammer (post-emergence).

I believe if you use dawn liquid soap it might act as a sticker. Because you need to add a sticking agent to apply chemicals for that weed

Nutsedge is a beast. We had issue with it coming through two layers of landscaping fabric and rubber mulch under our swingset. Curious if you find a solution that works for getting rid not it successfully!

There should be an automatic comment this time of year for Nutsedge and Creeping Charlie.

sedgehammer works great on that. I had it all over, used sedgehammer, and 7-10 days later it is completely gone
