The base is kind of like a patch of a bunch of curly/wavy grass. It has several long wavy stalks coming from the center of the patch with what looks like very small white flowers on the end of each stalk.

As shocking as this may sound, that's a weed I don't have currently.

Does crabgrass make stalks with little white flowers?

I see it now. You’ve got aster, bulbous buttercup, nutsedge and oxalis in your yard. Also, either powdery mildew or white spray paint in the top left corner.

Thanks for clarifying all those. I should have took a few more pics, so you could identify any others lol. I know I had clover, dollarweed, thistle, and dandelion too for sure. I sprayed a selective broadleaf herbicide early last week that's seemed to kill majority of those weeds. I waited 4 days and then cut Friday. I can already see all the patches of weeds dying. I'll give it a few weeks and see what weeds I have left. If I have some stubborn ones, I'm tempted to try MSM Turf since I read great things about that one.

Msm will knock out all the weeds I listed and you listed except for nutsedge. You’ll need sesgehammer or something similar for that.

ronk, the concentrate I used had the following active ingredients:

0.14% Penoxsulam, 0.14% Sulfentrazone, 1.46% 2, 4-D, dimethylamine salt, 0.41% Dicamba, dimethylamine salt

Will any of those ingredients kill nutsedge? It said it would kill nutsedge on the label. Looks to be working pretty good. Think I should come back in a few weeks with MSM turf too?

And yes, that's white spray paint in the corner.

Sulfentrazone is what is killing the nutsedge. You can certainly follow up with MSM. Only if needed.
