Hey,
This is the current situation with my backyard. I believe when we moved in they laid ‘Sir Walter Buffalo Grass’. Since then a battle with armyworms, my dogs pee burning the grass and life in general.
I have noticed a darker and broader type of grass growing and slowly overtaking the lawn. I am not to fussed to be honest.
I am more curious as to what the type of weed/grass is? I have tried my best to take the best photos to show you this. Yes i will mow the lawns today if anyone asks.

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 a few inches 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.
Pull ONE shopt and get pictures of that.
[This page from MSU](https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/grass-photography-tips-for-id-help-us-help-you) has helpful tips on how to take pictures of grasses for the purposes of identification.
