I believe it's centipede grass. And yes they do make "nuts" at the base of the roots. But I ain't about to try eating them.

As the grass gets established and starts to thrive, it will generally crowd out the nutsedge.

Anywhere the grass is weak or dies back, or in cracks between pieces of sod, the damn sedge will pop up.

It also like areas that stay wet, so when you back off on the watering after your grass gets going, that may help too.

I grew nutsedge in my garden on purpose.

They taste like almonds but are hard to clean.

If I were you, I'd kill the grass and keep the nutsedge.

They are a favored food for wildlife.
