It’s sneaky, stubborn, and loves this weather.
What is nutsedge and why is it showing up now?
Nutsedge (a.k.a. water grass) is a fast-growing weed that thrives in warm, wet conditions—like the ones we’ve had recently. It loves soggy, low-lying spots.
How do you treat it?
Only with post-emergent products once it’s up and growing. Our treatments will control what’s currently visible, but nutsedge germinates in waves, so repeat applications are key.
Will it come back?
Likely, yes. Its seeds can stay dormant for up to 10 years, waiting for the perfect combo of rain + heat + soft soil. It’s persistent—but so are we.
Can I do anything to help?
Absolutely! Improve drainage, avoid overwatering, and level out low spots in your lawn. Healthier soil = fewer invitations for nutsedge.
💡 Bonus Tip:
Nutsedge grows faster than your lawn—so if you’re mowing more often in just one area, that’s a clue it’s back!
