I need some advice from any of you lawn care experts. Last year I started getting a tough to kill weed in the yard that I was able to identify as Paspalum (or Paspalum Setaceum or Dallisgrass). I was able to find one weed killer that killed it when sprayed directly on it over several weeks and a brush killer that kills it (but I don't really want to use that in the yard and kill the grass).

I have read up a little online of how to get rid of it. I know like with any weed pulling it works best but there are numerous spots in the yard and I don't want to spend all day or two days pulling/digging it out. Online everything seems to list types of weed killers to use but not any recommended brands.

So the question is does anyone have a weed killer to use that they have experienced luck with? Maybe something to use now that is a pre-emergent and one to use if it grows back? Anything that can be sprayed over the whole yard to help kill it/prevent it?

I was able to rid my yard of weeds quickly, with little effort, and no expense.

I haven't had a weed appear in the 20+ years since, so I consider it an effective long-term solution.

I simply stopped calling them weeds, and starting using the terms "biodiversity" and "wildflowers".

Success is easily attainable if your standards are low enough.

This guy's lawn schedule works really well.

Definitely be using pre-emergent now….
