I live in upstate NY zip code 12803. My guess is the grass in the yard is mostly fine fescue. I think the purplish one may be barnyard grass but not sure.

After no luck identifying, I sprayed Tenacity in the area of the 4th picture and it has taken it out after one application.

Not sure what this is, but it's growing a lot in one particular (dry/rocky/bad) patch of my yard: It's got a very wide blade and grows taller that my regular grass. I'm in CT. Thanks!
