Beat Bahiagrass for Good
August 1, 2025
2 minutes read

If your once-perfect lawn is starting to look more like a wild prairie, Bahiagrass might be the culprit. Known for its coarse texture and tall, V-shaped seed heads, this grass isn’t shy about taking over. And while it’s tough enough to survive droughts and poor soil, it’s also tough enough to outcompete your carefully cultivated lawn. That’s when it’s time to call in the pros at Nature's Select®. Here's how we can help you get rid of Bahiagrass for good.

Why Bahiagrass Is So Stubborn

Bahiagrass isn’t your average lawn weed. It spreads through both seeds and underground rhizomes, meaning it can quickly establish itself and become difficult to remove. Even mowing more frequently won’t solve the problem. In fact, it can encourage more seed production. Its deep root system also makes manual removal a challenge, especially if it’s scattered throughout your yard.

Spotting the Signs Early

The sooner you spot Bahiagrass, the easier it is to control. Look for wide, rough blades and tall seed stalks with a distinct “Y” shape at the top. It tends to appear in sunny, open areas, but if left unchecked, it can creep into shaded spots, garden beds, and even cracks in your driveway. Early detection means less damage to your existing lawn and a more targeted treatment plan.

When DIY Just Won’t Cut It

Homeowners often try DIY treatments like hand-pulling or general herbicides, but Bahiagrass laughs in the face of half-measures. Because it grows back from both roots and seeds, you’ll need professional-grade solutions to eliminate it without harming your desired grass. Nature's Select® uses targeted treatments and customized lawn care programs to address Bahiagrass at its source, while also improving your lawn’s overall health to prevent future invasions.

Teaming Up for a Healthier Law

Professional Bahiagrass removal isn’t just about getting rid of an eyesore—it’s about protecting your investment. A healthy lawn here in Chapel Hill, NC, is more resistant to weeds, pests, and diseases, and the right lawn care plan will keep it that way. Alongside Bahiagrass control, the Nature's Select® team can also help with lawn insect control, sod webworm control, and dandelion control so your yard looks its best year-round.

Fall overseeding for a healthy, dense lawn
Pre-emergent herbicides stop seeds from developing into seedlings, and grass seed is a seed. Apply most fall pre-emergents, and you block your own overseeding for 12 to 16 weeks.
