My eyes are bleeding! If your husband doesn't care about the grass, kill all that crap & sod it with something like st. Augustine. Bermuda requires you to care about it

Bermuda requires you to care about it

So you're saying that if instead of hating the bermuda that crops up in my front yard every summer I simply ignore it, it will just go away?

@Crystal Trail

It's possible you may have some crabgrass, though you most likely have a variety of weeds. NCSU has issued an alert for crabgrass germination at the end of February :

I'm not terribly familiar with Bermuda but it looks like Celsius WG might be an option. It doesn't list crabgrass as a controlled weed, so you could attack that (if you have any) using a mix of quinclorac and methylated seed oil.

The other option would be to use RoundUp(glyphosate), which will kill the weed for sure whatever they are, but may also injure(but not kill) the Bermuda. The injury would result in a few weeks delay in Bermuda greening up in those spots. Here's some info on the effects of glyphosate on dormant Bermuda:

Fertilizer only works on green plants with active roots. Your bermuda is/was still dormant, so the fertilizer would do nothing to make it green up faster. So yes, all you did was fertilize the green weeds. This is one reason we recommend waiting until Memorial Day to fertilize the lawn. Bermuda lawns are different in that they need to be fertilized every month they are growing. But you have to wait until it is growing. That means you can fertilize after the second time you mow the bermuda (not the weeds). Sometimes bermuda will seem to green up and then another cold front sets it back, so wait until you mow for the second time to ensure you have active roots.

It would appear the majority of weeds in the yard are grassy weeds. That's going to be a problem. As someone mentioned, if you want a lawn that is considerably less maintenance, you cold convert to St Augustine. It might be hard to find that far north, but I believe it will become more popular in your area as the transition zone moves northward. St Augustine is a coarse bladed grass that likes to be mowed high. When you do that it provides too much shade on other fine bladed grasses for them to survive. It will take over. When it gets weeds the spray options are limited to some very ugly chemicals, but once established, the weed pressure is minimal. St Aug spreads, so one piece of it will eventually take over the yard.

If you decide to post more pictures, please take them on a cloudy day and from about 3 inches away from the weeds you want us to identify. If the plants/weeds have a flower head or seed stalk that makes it easier to do.

Ok ok J4, that was a rather cynical answer. Your Bermuda is simply a result of a favorable environment, but for a monostand of Bermuda my comment stands--It requires attention or it gets leggy, thatchy & weedy.

For Crystal the OP, I apologize for my cranky response. I would suggest a shopping spree at the local hardware or garden store. You need a large sprayer & 2 kinds of SELECTIVE liquid weed killer--one specific to grassy weeds & one for broadleaf weeds. My favorite active ingredient is sulfentrazone & its usually labelled as a nutsedge killer. The other one for broadleaf weeds will likely be 2,4D. It's not great for Bermuda, but you need a big gun to fix that. Mix up a batch of each & spray weekly for the next month. DO NOT USE ROUNDUP OR GLYPHOSATE right now. You will regret that for the entire growing season. In a month or so, start fertilizing each 2 weeks to bring the Bermuda in strong. Keep us updated & good luck!

Darn it, I though I had my Bermuda problem solved. I think I'm just going to embrace it this year :-)

Don't worry, it'll spread for ya!

I had a patio put in about 2 years ago. They put Bermuda on the dirt that was dug out for the patio. I wish it would spread, but it appear to be dying, and being replaced by weeds.

That is this years project.

Wow thanks everyone for the comments and advice! To have a nice lawn is so much work and $ it seems both which we are low on lol. My husband just mowed the weeds yesterday so I'll take a picture when they grow more in a few days. I wish we could just burn it all and rollout the AstroTurf hehe, but we'll have to work with what we have. So what we did was bought a 2 gal. Sprayer and image weed killer concentrate. It only covered a small area so no I think my husband may have sprayed to much on the weeds? I thought it'd cover more but with those sprayers do you go over the whole yard in a sweeping motion because he painstakingly went weed by weed and spent hours just covering a small perimeter if our front yard. It did seem to kill a good variety of weeds just not enough to even cover the front yard. I wonder if a different type of weed killer would be better? Maybe the kind with quinlorac? We'd do the kind do the kind that you hook up with a house but our water pressure is terrible out here. Thanks again!

It is painstaking work to spot spray each weed, but in your case it has to be done. In future years, a good pre emergent barrier will reduce the weed population, but you will still need to spot spray a few rogues every year, it's a fact of life with lawns. Be glad you don't have a 9 month growing season like I do in Houston!

Image is a good product but it won't kill everything & it does get expensive. I will repeat my recommendation for a cheap 2,4D product like spectracide weed stop or Ortho weed be gone as your heavy hitter. Any sulfentrazone based product will be a good replacement for image & there are plenty of cheaper sulfentrazone products. Just keep spraying each new weed early & often, you'll get ahead of them.

Thanks love go to Lowe's today and just take it a bit at a time. Should I just do a 2, 4d product alone or should I do a sulfrntrazone product in addition to that? I included a picture of the major weed offender in my yard although there are many other varieties also this one is the biggest and most noticable

Hold off on buying anything until reeljake gets a chance to examine your picture and respond. 2,4-D and/or sulfentrazone may not cut it.

I don't really do weed ID very well but try the sulfentrazone product first, then 2,4D if the sulfur doesn't kill it. If neither works, pull it by hand

Ok I'll try it out. I know it's a kind of weed if I try to pull it by hand it leaves like a tunnel to China deep hole lol

Yeah that happens. If it bothers you a handful of all purpose sand fills it nicely, just like filling a divot on the golf course.
