Weeds can be an unwelcome presence on any lawn, and grassy weeds are no exception. Grassy weeds are types of plants that look like grass but are actually weeds. These pesky intruders can steal essential nutrients and water from your desired turfgrass, leaving you with patchy or bare spots in your lawn. While some weeds can be fairly easy to remove, others – like grassy weeds – can be more difficult. Grassy weeds are often similar in appearance and growth habits to desirable turfgrass species, making them hard to identify and more challenging to deal with.
