Looking for some grass identification help (see attached photo). This is a new construction property (Northeast), slice seeded with primarily bluegrass this past autumn, came in strong. It's mid-April and about to apply a pre-emergence + fertilizer mix.

Any identification of the attached photo? These are peppered throughout lawn, with already strong growth on them. Too soon and far along for crab grass. Could it be goose or quack grass? thanks for any input.

Blades look too thin to be crab anyway. I would say Goose but again blades are thin.


See if any of these match it.

I was going to say quack grass. I just dug up a bunch of bunches of it. Got a bunch more to go. It's easier to get out in clumps, just push up with a garden fork, beat the soil off the roots and bag them up. Unless you use some kind of weed killer, which I guess you can tell I don't.
