Since you asked, it isn't torpedo grass (but it is).

Friend,
Does it really matter? Torpedo grass, St. Augustine, Bermuda, all just green weeds that cover the ground. Don't sweat it.

Burn it, till it, spray glyphosate, burn it again, dig out 2 feet of dirt, replace dirt, and start over.

two options and only two:
ignore it and mow it and accept your fate (see tulanelsu)
destroy it and everything around it including the soil (see ronk)
was this fill installed by a landscaper?
if it was I’d go kick his arse

Just cut my grass in grand isle. It’s 80% torpedo. If it thrives in grand isle no way a little glosphate will stop it

I bought the sack from Delta Sod about 2 months ago.

Dan Gill says that the pumped sand shouldn’t have this problem
Dan Gill article
quote:
Filling is best done with the sandy alluvial soil deposited in our area by the Mississippi River. Soil that is deposited in the river bed and dredged or pumped out to keep the river open to large ships is called pumped sand or sugar sand.
Soil obtained from the area between the river and the levee is called batture sand.
Pumped and batture sand are also called river sand. Alluvial soil obtained from the Bonnie Carrie spillway is called spillway sand.
It's generally best not to use spillway sand because it's more likely to contain seeds, bulbs or bits of rhizomes of weeds, such as nutsedge, dollarweed and torpedograss. Pumped sand and river sand typically do not have this problem.

At least it's not Dallis Grass.

You now have the AIDS of the grass world. Good luck.

I’ve got a few spots where it’s showing up. I’ve hit it with sethoxydim every other week and it has receded a bit. I under stand tho it will come back. Just gotta keep hitting it and eventually I’ll go buy some sod squares.

River sand, and bank sand, always bring all kinds of weed seed with them.
