Nutsedge in Tulsa Lawns and Grass: What It Is and Why It’s So Stubborn
If you’ve noticed patches of bright green, spiky, long grass growing faster than the rest of your lawn—especially after a good rain—you might be dealing with nutsedge. Nutsedge is actually a weed, and in Tulsa’s hot, humid summers, it thrives.
Nutsedge, sometimes called “nutgrass,” isn’t just unsightly. It can choke out healthy turf, disrupt your landscape design, and is notoriously difficult to get rid of. That’s because it doesn’t grow like typical weeds—it spreads through underground tubers (called “nutlets”) and even small pieces left behind can regrow.
Why Is It So Common in Tulsa?
Our clay-heavy soils, frequent watering, and fluctuating temps create the perfect environment for nutsedge to flourish. Once it takes hold, traditional weed killers and lawn treatments won’t cut it.
How Do You Get Rid of It?
The short answer: carefully and consistently. It often takes specialized herbicides and a targeted treatment plan to truly eliminate nutsedge—without damaging your lawn.
