    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, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.

    OP, please respond to this comment with any additional pictures if needed.

    Poa annua.

    Avoid daily watering in the summer and hopefully it’ll die out in the summer, and then you could apply pre emergents in the fall just before soil temps fall below 70F.

    If it survives the summer, that would be considered perennial poa annua… And it’s quite a bit more involved to deal with. https://www.reddit.com/r/lawncare/s/jJzqF95TVE
