Although having more than one kind of grass changes the visual texture, it is more natural than trying to get only one species to grow. I am going to let all the grasses but crabgrass live. That way, I can spot treat sedges, and use a broadleaf killer on broad leaves. The other day I was pulling up crabgrass when a neighbor stopped to say they had worried about me because I hadn't been out pulling the crabgrass in a while. They weren't sure I was okay. That's life in the villages.
