Utah County: (801) 373-2065
Salt Lake County: (801) 347-1240
Orchard Grass Description: resembles crabgrass, forms in patches, lighter colored "V-shaped" blades
Peak Season: Perennial (year-round)
Treatment: non-selective herbicide and replant

Orchardgrass consists of a dense tuft of basal leaves from low vegetative shoots. These lighter green leaves can grow up to 10" long and 1/3" wide.

When will I see orchardgrass?

Orchardgrass is a perennial, meaning it grows year round like your lawn. Similar to your lawn, it begins to grow again in early spring and begins to go to seed in May.

How do I get rid of orchardgrass?

Since orchardgrass is a grass, only a non-selective herbicide can kill it. The drawback to this is it will also kill your lawn in that area, so it will be necessary to reseed the affected area.d

How do I prevent orchardgrass from infiltrating my lawn?

While there is no way to perfectly keep out all Dandelions, there are a few things you can do to help prevent new growth in your lawn. These include:
  • A Pre-emergence herbicide in April or May to help prevent germination.
  • Mowing your lawn on the second highest setting to help crowd out any potential growth and block out the sunlight.
