If so, is there anything I can spread across the yard this time of year to kill it? I neglected to put out any kind of pre emergent weed killer this year and this stuff has taken over.

Sorry for the large pictures but just wanted to make sure anybody who could help could get a good look at the stuff.

If burmuda is what you have then spray msma on the entire yard then spray one more time a week later then fertilize and water if needed.

That looks like dallis to me. Home Depot has some stuff specifically for dallis.

Msma will kill everything but burmuda. It's some bad stuff I use it on all of my clients yards that have burmuda. You will not be disappointed you can but it at most co ops for around 90 bucks for 2.5 gallons and it will last you several years depending on size of lot of course

Could be dallis. Get a good look at the seed head. How many on each stalk.

Not dallis. Goosegrass most likely.

Dallis

Sethoxydim G pro is about your only option in centipede and you will have to hit it a few times to completely get rid of grassy weeds. The best weed prevention in centipede is of course a pre emergent and to cut your grass a little higher. I use Scott's southern turf builder once in may and again in June. Keep it watered during drought to reduce stress and you'll be good

Sethoxydim or Clethodim will work in centipede. Will take a couple of applications. Will also help clean Bermuda out of centipede

That bottom pic sure looks like Dallas to me. Two things work well in my yard. 1. if it's wet, just pull it. 2. spot treat with roundup. Yes, you will kill a little lawn, but it will come back very quickly.

That is crabgrass. I would just spot treat with some roundup.
