re: Yard Help - Multiple Issues (Pics) - UPDATE

Update. So after treating what I thought was crabgrass for a week and nothing happening I let it grow out to identify it by the seed head. What I found was that I have Quackgrass taking over, not Crabgrass. This video helped a lot in eliminating what I was looking at Youtube. I also found that I had some Foxtail, Carpetgrass, and Crabgrass as well. The little bit of Crabgrass died with the treatment I applied.

After researching Quackgrass I learned it's a perennial so I couldn't count on it dying off with heat and it has a complex root system so I couldn't just pull it. Unfortunately there is no selective herbicide for it so I ordered some Roundup QuickPro and sprayed all the Quackgrass, Foxtail, and Carpetgrass yesterday. I'm going to wait 2 weeks to reseed with Bermuda and apply a shite ton of Milorganite that I bought a couple weeks ago.

I got the Roundup from DoMyOwn.com, a website I found that sells professional grade stuff. I'm going to order some pesticides from there soon and start treating my house on my own rather than pay someone that has the good stuff.

I aerated my thin spots as ronk suggested and changed up my watering cycle and am waiting to see the effects on the Bermuda that didn't get hit with Roundup. I have been mowing on a very low setting to cut down all the Quackgrass, which I found out is really bad for the Bermuda. Once the Quackgrass and everything else is dead I'm going to start mowing much higher which should help out the thin spots as well. Hopefully it will all come together and I can somewhat salvage a nice lawn for the summer.

Just wanted to update so if someone else has the same problem in the future they can find some answers. Thanks for the help.
