It's the only grass that survived the heat wave! (the rest of my lawn turned brown).
This part of the yard was planted by a previous owner of the property -- I'd love to plant this kind of grass because it looks heat resistant

sorry - I'm in upstate NY

Answer 1

Looks like a rye grass or fescue to me.

Check out http://www.scotts.com for a comparison of grasses, and the locations where they grow best.

Answer 2

Where are you? Some bermuda grasses do better in the heat and out here in California we have a weed (I know go ahead with the jokes) called nutsedge. It's a nastyass weed that will overpower your lawn. It's got a nut that can be yards below the ground and sprouts up and odd looking grassish type blade. I should add that Bermuda is technically a weed too.

Answer 3

I can't see the picture but I recommend a high-quality tall fescue. It will stand up to most problems once established.

Answer 4

It looks like tall fescue grass to me. Tall fescue grass grows very tall and faster than other grass.

Answer 5

um, Dude, those are weeds i'm sorry to say they only survive becanse they soak up a lot of water for the summer so there naturally tougher (spell check) best of luck! brean :)

Answer 6

Looks like it might be bermuda, but I can't swear by it.

Answer 7

if its not crab grass is it bermuda grass?

Answer 8

PROBABLY.....ZOYSIA GRASS...YOU BUY IT AND PLANT IT IN LITTLE PLUGS...

Answer 9

IT'S HARD TO TELL FROM THE PIC. YOU COULD TAKE A SAMPLE TO YOUR EXTENSION AGENT AND HE SHOULD BE ABEL TO TELL YOU...

Answer 10
