Half of my yard was tilled and reseeded in early fall. The landscaper promised no weeds would grow back. Are these weeds or another type of grass or cover?

    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.

    How can the landscaper promise no weeds? Lol. If that’s in writing, I’ll hire him too.

    The first pic looks like something that been showing up in early spring in sc for last couple yrs. Have a landscaper or u spray with a herbicide that won’t kill ur grass quickly bc if its what i think it is they will grow little stickers that suck and u wont be able to walk on it barefooted

    The weeds in picture 3 are similar to what I have in my lawn (Northern California). I plan to weed and feed in the spring, once the weather warms up. Are there any recommendations for herbicide? Just started following this sub recently to learn, so I apologize if it is something obvious. I’m new.

    3rd picture looks like 3 leafed clover. And can be considered a weed.

    >tilled and reseeded

    Sounds like that was the first time they did that… Because if someone tills and reseeds, weeds are almost completely *guaranteed*.

    Looks like clover. Its an edible weed and great cover. Id leave it

    Chickweed, fern starts, clover, probably some buttercups, looks like a number of things and possible start weeds. Use a 4 way broadleaf on the lawn and then some form of roundup on the rocks pavers so you clean the grasses out. Top soil the grass in may, over seed and over water wherever you are.
