It looks like a blade or two of centipede and most likely sedge. You can tell by the triangle shaped blade.

what is sedge?

i don't know what to do with that backyard. i'll get better pics this evening for sure, but in the meantime: the lawn is a mess, it's got a bit of everything in it.

We desperately need a solid lawn during the spring and summer months. We have a 85lb greyhound and a Vizsla puppy on the way. The greyhound already leaves divots in the yard while playing and the Vizsla will only create more problems with the weak lawn i have. Is sedge something I can plant via seeds? Or should i just go with something more common and let it try to take over the yard? We rent the home. Don't plan to be there but about another year before buying our own home in the Woodlands, but I got to get something sturdy going back there soon or come summer when the daily afternoon showers start popping up, it's going to be a mud pit back there.

Take a photo of the grass from above to determine the amount of weeds to grass ratio. If it is mostly weeds your options are to do nothing or to kill the weeds and resod. Grass seed will not sufficiently keep up with the weed seed/weed growth so that isnt a realistic option.
