    Default What kind of grass do I have?

    This stuff is thin and fluffy. The base is very thick and feels like I’m walking on a thick piece of foam. I can’t figure it out, but I have some weeds and don’t want to drop anything down that might kill the grass.
    It might be the best pictures but maybe you can tell.

    I don't think it's something that I would smoke so is worthless.

    Zoysia?

    Yea the yard needs a ton of work, curb appeal is awful. Old owners put in random plants in random spots. Front yard has whatever this grass is, back yard is centipede. I’m just working with what I got, and I got a lot of work to do!

    It’s September, leave it alone until it goes dormant then burn it before green up next spring.

    That’s correct. Cut it real low in the early spring and bag it. I would come back and dethatch it then.

    Luxurious is the word you’re looking for. You should never cut more than a 1/3 of the blade if you care about your grass.

    What you have will form a mat that will be like walked on a sponge if you have a yard full of it and don’t keep up with it. Don’t worry too much with it this year, but stay on top of it starting this spring. Burn it, cut it and by all means use a bagging mower.
