I had ground ivy, wild violet and crabgrass problem. Last winter/fall, used weed killer however too late for reseeding. This march seeded on march 27, my lawnmower did the first cut on April 25. Now the crabgrass is crazy again. Would highly appreciate any advice.

Maybe I am going blind in my old age, but where is the crabgrass? Lawn looks good to me, maybe needs a mow.
Did you use preemergent to prevent crabgrass?
lol looks great, a mow and edge is needed
It looks great, just mow it
Is the crabgrass currently in the room with us?
Your neighborhood looks like my neighborhood and feels like home. Nice yard
I’d kill for this lawn! I’ve put down Lesco preemergent, spot treated for violet and it still looks like shit 😂
Mow it
The only weeds I see are on that sidewalk strip, aside from maybe a couple broadleafs right by your driveway.
I wish my lawn grew like this. Mine has so many different kinds of grass that grow at different speeds. It only looks good after it’s mowed.
It’s May 3rd. You do not have crab grass (yet)
Try cutting it.
Crabgrass must be in the back yard…
I see nothing but beautiful lawn here man. What am I missing? Crab grass isn’t growing yet in Zone 7b and won’t be for about 6 weeks,
Mow
Idk if this is rage bait but that lawn is nice
You’re kidding, right?
Water and mow. Water and mow. Water and mow……….
Mow it
I don’t think it’s crabgrass… it looks to me like you have a mix of a perennial rye and an annual rye, that’s coming up…but imho it looks great, mow it.
Wished my lawn looked that green and dense
Looks like an “After” picture that many people hope for.
Just now it and be happy it looks as good as it does. I’m surrounded by lawns that are more like dandelion fields on three sides. Going to guess most people don’t care so you’re already doing better than most even asking.
Ummm.. touch it? Lay in it?
Get a chair, sit next to it, wave to neighbors admiring your grass?
Enjoy it.
