Good morning! I was wondering if someone could help me identify the grass type of my lawn. I live in Warner Robins, GA and have attached some photos.

I apologize if I didn't take the right kind of picture. Please let me know if I need to take a better shot to help. Thanks for your time!

The main lawn looks like centipede. It looks like a taller version of my current centipede. The grass that was pulled looks like what I get in my lawn this time of year. it's very green while everything else is mostly still dormant. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it goes away when the heat arrives. It seems to be a lot less this year in my lawn when compared to last year.

Looks like centipede. Carpetgrass has a similar look to centipede. An easy way to tell if there's any carpetgrass in there is when it produces seed heads. Carpetgrass seed head look very similar to a crabgrass seed head with little fingers at the top of the stem compared to centipede seed heads that are a single slender spike.

I live in Warner Robins too and have that same stuff in my lawn. Haven't found anyone that could give me a definitive answer on mine either. I'm pulling it all up this spring and going back down with tifgrand. Not sure what it is but it doesn't look terrible when cared for. Takes a low cut well. This was mine last year cut around 5/8.

Let's see if we can help move the conversation along by identifying seedheads.
