A little background I have a Bermuda lawn that I install from side I actually got the sod from a local high school football field that was switching over to out official turf the side looked beautiful for the 1st few months but because I'm a novice you know I screwed it up.

So now I'm looking to attack it and bring it back to life I'm starting with dealing with the weeds and I really need help.

I began by purchasing and applying trimec crabgrass plus because I've read so many good reviews about it working. Not so with my yard.

Bottom line

I need to hear from experienced experts.

Another question I thought Bermuda was dormant until March or April why is mine greening up so early?

This is dependent on the weather and soil temps
It's probably to early for crabgrass it needs a warmer soil temp to grow

Just noticed a bunch of typos (did voice to text) I can't correct now because the edit feature is disabled after a length of time.

In any case can anyone identify those weeds in the pictures? I would really like to eliminate those asap.

What????

I don't know squat about warm season turf...but it looks like you have broadleaf and grassy weeds. Some of it looks like poa annua which might not be hardy down there. So I could be wrong. Pretty sure Trimec isn't labeled for poa.

And as hort said, it's possible the soil temps are too cold for it to work.

Then i would do weed and feed with a pre that is labeled for crabgrass, then do a second one 2 months later. Just make sure the pre-emerge active ingredient is deffirent the second time. I.e. Dont use a weed % feed with Dimension twice in a row.

Looks like I have a major distribution/warehouse about 6 miles away. Not sure if they have a walkup counter. Looks like another about 7.5 mi away that should work if the 1st doesn't.

Thanks for the lead.

I don't see bermuda this is all grassy weed. The way to get it is with roundup. You have waited too long to attack it. At end of January a mix of simazine and RU and MSO would have got it. Speedzone heavy will cleanup everything except grassy weed and that will die when we get into summer months. In meantime mow it and enjoy green color.
