That Clumpy Grass in Your Yard? It’s Probably Bahiagrass

If you’re noticing rough, wiry clumps of grass popping up and ruining the look of your smooth, green lawn, you’re likely dealing with Bahiagrass. This aggressive invader is tough, fast-spreading, and a major eyesore for every homeowner who takes pride in their yard. At Nature’s Select®, we know precisely how to identify and tackle Bahiagrass so you can get back to enjoying a lawn that actually looks like a lawn.

Identifying Bahiagrass in Your Lawn

Bahiagrass is a tough, drought-tolerant grass originally used for pastures. It thrives in hot climates, such as North Carolina’s, and spreads quickly with deep roots and stubborn seedheads. While it's great for cows, it’s not so great for curb appeal. Left alone, it’ll muscle its way into your lawn, disrupting the look and feel of your beautiful grass.

The Challenges Bahiagrass Brings

Bahiagrass is a survivor. Its deep root system makes it hard to pull up, and mowing doesn’t faze it—it’ll just grow right back. Its tall seed heads resemble little pitchforks and pop up faster than most turf grasses can grow, giving your lawn a messy, unkempt appearance even with regular mowing. And because it spreads underground and by seed, Bahiagrass can take over quickly if left unchecked.
