Hi. I have been living with this grassy weed throughout my yard (especially the less tended portions) for several years. It's hard to pin a source on it but seems to have cropped up within five years or so while we were going through construction. Our lot is sloped and it is very pervasive on the lower portion which is not really fertilized/weeded, but has also had taken hold in our upper back yard (completely reseeded in 2018) but that may be due to seeds still present.
This grass is slightly more yellow-light green, has grooves and a mid-rib, and grows taller than the KBG and TTFT that surrounds it... if left alone it will be six-ish inches or so above. It does not appear to have rhizomes when pulled but also seems to pop up where it feels like, and will bunch if you eventually let it. At first I thought it was quackgrass, but on inspection it doesn't have the same parts. Next best guess is orchard grass.
I've attached some images that can hopefully help... can take more if needed. I also am including some older pics of how bad it had got in 2017 or so (before we re-did the lawn).
Thanks for any info!
