AT&T came out a couple months ago and installed a box(red arrow) and buried the cable(inside the red circled area). Anyways, always had a well taken care of and nice yard. But after the install these weeds started popping up exactly where they buried the line about 4” underground. What’s the cause of the weeds all of the sudden?

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 shoot and get pictures of that.

I would guess that the buried, dormant seeds were brought to the surface with the digging.🤷♂️
Seed bring weed
They tilled the soil and so nutrients and seed become mixed into fresh airy soil.
The seeds won’t germinate when they’re too deep but once the soil gets turned over they’ll sprout up right away. I’ve had so many customers get mad thinking it was in my straw or I had crappy seed cause of situations like this. Spray the weeds and put pre-emergent down in spring and you’ll be good
