I just bought a house for the first time and am just starting to learn about lawn care. I’ve got myself a great EGO blower and about to get a lawn mower.
Anyway, can anyone help me with my back yard? It is patchy and soggy/muddy. I don’t even know what type of grass this is or where to start. I cleared 95% of the leaves and debris with the blower and light raking.
My biggest priority is making it less muddy because I have a dog and have to clean its feet every single time it comes back inside currently.
Any thoughts/advice are appreciated. This is in Tennessee and pics taken today.

If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.
For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than 5 feet away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, and stems. General location can also be helpful.
OP, please respond to this comment with any additional pictures if needed.
