Take a sample of the grass to the Extension office at the Sheriff's substation at 466 & Morse. See if they can identify it.

If it's torpedo grass, good luck. It has taken over most of my side yard and is present in patches everywhere. I was told there is no treatment for it that will not also kill the zoysia. And if I take everything up and re-sod, it will reappear after a while.
