Get Rid of Pesky Nutsedge for Good

Are you noticing odd tall, straw‑colored, or bright green grassy shoots popping up in your lawn that just don’t look right? You’re not imagining it — that’s likely nutsedge (often called sedge or nutgrass), and it can take over your lawn faster than you expect if not treated properly.

At Lawn Squad®, we’re here to help you take back your lawn and keep it lush, healthy, and sedge‑free all season long.

What Is Nutsedge?

Nutsedge isn’t your typical weed — it’s a perennial sedge, which means it looks grass‑like but is actually a completely different plant that doesn’t respond to most standard weed killers. It spreads aggressively through underground tubers (nutlets), making it notoriously difficult to eliminate once it’s established.

Unlike common weeds, nutsedge:

  • Grows faster and taller than most turf grasses,

  • Thrives in moist or poorly drained soil, and

  • Has triangular stems and clustered leaves that make it stand out from your lawn grass.

When this weed takes hold, it can weaken your turf, steal nutrients and water, and make your lawn look patchy and unhealthy.

Why Regular Lawn Care Isn’t Enough

Traditional weed control products often won’t touch nutsedge — because it isn’t a broadleaf weed and it isn’t a grass weed. It requires sedge‑specific control methods and timing to be effective. Trying to simply pull or mow it often won’t stop it, since the underground tubers remain ready to sprout again.

That’s where professional sedge control comes in.

Selective Post‑Emergent Treatments

We use sedge‑specific herbicides that are designed to attack nutsedge where it grows — on the leaves and down into the root system — while being safe for most turf varieties.

Multiple Visit Strategy

Since nutsedge can be persistent, we may revisit your lawn at the optimal time to treat new growth and ensure long‑term control.

Lawn‑Strengthening Maintenance

A healthy, dense lawn is your best defense against sedge returning. That’s why our programs also focus on proper fertilization, mowing height, and lawn care practices that help crowd out tough weeds.
