Im not sure what this stuff is but I've battled it all year last year (if it's even the same). Begins to grow in big clumps and takes over existing lawn. I've dug out a few big spots where I plan to reseed this spring. Now I'm seeing little sprigs pop up everywhere!
Does anyone know what this devil grass is and how I can eliminate for good? Thank you lawn experts.

Maybe quackgrass. I see clasping auricles. Are they attached underground by runners? Maybe someone else can confirm.
It’s not a fun weed to have…
Quackgrass would be my first guess, but I’m not an expert at this. Rhizomes and big, ugly leaf blades are a dead give-away. As a homeowner, you can’t do much to kill what’s already growing. You can use glyphosate on the clumps, but it will kill anything it touches. Alternatively, you can dig each clump manually. Either way, be ready to reseed or sod dead areas.
