Nutsedge
Wet, poorly drained lawn areas and around sprinkler heads.
Quick answerMagic Pest & Lawn treats nutsedge in Austin lawns through its lawn program: pre-emergent, post-emergent, and fertilizer in about 3 visits a year, with visits starting at $90. No contract. Call or text 512-203-0525.
How to recognize it
Bright yellow-green, shiny blades that grow faster than the lawn. The stems are triangular when rolled between your fingers.
Why it shows up
It spreads by underground tubers (nutlets). Pulling it leaves tubers behind, and each one sprouts again.
How we treat it
A sedge-specific post-emergent, often repeated, since tubers keep sprouting through the season.
What you can do
- Don't pull it by hand
- Fix wet spots and leaky sprinklers
