Lawn grass #928935

Asked April 20, 2026, 11:12 AM EDT

For the first time this year I have a different grass growing in my yard. It is a different shade of green and grows taller than the rest of my yard. I would like to know what type of grass it is and how to remove it. My yard is perennial ryegrass. Thank you
