Torpedograss Can Be A Yard-Killer!

Act Early Before it Takes Over

Icon

Dense, Ugly Patches

Torpedograss grows in dense patches, creating mats and clumps that ruin your lawn's aesthetics and health!

Fast and Invasive

Unchecked, it spreads rapidly and can take over your lawn, even growing through and under concrete sidewalks and stone patio cracks.

Aggressive Grower

It chokes out desirable grasses by stealing all the water, sunlight, and nutrients. Soon, it’s all you have left.

A Yard-Killer

If torpedograss is allowed to take over, homeowners could find themselves facing an incredibly expensive complete lawn renovation or re-sodding.

Hard to Control

It spreads via underground stems (rhizomes), as well as by wind, water, and wildlife, making it hard to keep in check.

Don’t Wait

The longer you wait, the further it spreads! Act quickly to address the problem before the deep root system is established and eradication becomes more complex.

What is Torpedograss?

Torpedograss is a highly invasive species that has spread to many parts of the United States.

It is a warm-season, creeping grass that spreads quickly and aggressively, making it a nuisance to:

  • Lawns
  • Gardens
  • Even golf courses

Torpedograss has narrow, pointed leaves that are usually 2 to 3 inches long. It gets its name from producing seed heads that look like torpedoes.

How to Get Rid of Torpedograss

We have found that the best torpedograss control results require a customized approach that involves controlling small infestations by pulling individual plants by hand and repairing these areas with desirable grass seed.

If the infestation is larger, our technicians will use high-quality, calibrated spray equipment to apply the correct amount of herbicide, ensuring effectiveness and minimizing non-target damage.

We also always recommend doubling down on your lawn care practices, such as:

  • Watering the right amount
  • Mowing to the right height
  • Fertilizing regularly
  • Aerating to reduce compaction and encourage healthy growth
