How do you deal with quackgrass in your yard?

Answer by  charlcat (44)

The best approach is to use a pre-emergent in the spring before it sprouts. Due to the nature of the plants they are hard to pull up unless caught while still small. The only other choice is to use an herbicide such as Round-up but care is needed when applying to keep from killing the grass around it.

The best thing to do is dig it out from the effected area with a shovel and till the land. Once tilled plant new healthy grass.

I suggest spraying the area with Roundup. Then rake up the dead quackgrass, lay down a little topsoil and re-seed the grass
