I applied sedgehammer to my lawn, which is a mix of Bermuda and St. A. It took a few weeks to fully kill the nutsedge and it worked great.
It ... worked! I used the Sedgehammer and Surffactant combination is it basically got rid of 100% of the areas that I sprayed within just a few days. Since I have basically the entire bottle left, I am tempted to go around and apply this to all my neighbors ... almost every lawn in the neighborhood has the weed growing.
lol save the bottle because they will return. It won’t be the same plant but next year it will come back again! I get them in random spots still that don’t make sense. This year I got some in a completely different location than the year before.
New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m in S Central Texas and my lawn is a mix of Bermuda and St. A.❤❤❤
Thankyou for making this video. I enjoyed watching it.
I will try Sedgehammer again, I think it worked the first time but If you don't keep up they do come back, espesicially when you have to water other plants in that same area. I think it's best not to give nutsedge any water at all and the herbicide will work even better.
Take Care, Aloha 🌴🌴🔨🔨
I am a new subscriber. . I live in south Louisiana and have St Augustine grass and just about every kind of weed you can name. Thanks for the information.
@@pmmm8440 thank you for subscribing! I envy you warm season lawns sometimes! We can get rid of those weeds!
New subscriber! I live in Spanish Fort AL on the Eastern Shore of the Mobile Bay. I had centipede grass in my front lawn but by some unknown miracle emerald zoysia took hold and has almost completely taken over. It is thick and lush but I do have a problem with nutsedge so this DEFINITELY is a game changer. I also have a weed that has small white flowers which I believe is Virginia Buttonweed
Sedge Hammer and its generic work great!
Mine started growing in he gardens (flower). And its all over, not in one place like you would expect the roots spreading underground. I've been lucky in that Round up has worked. I will have to try this now
@@gobbletegook I also got more this year in areas we didn’t have it last year very odd season
I have what I believe to be nutsedge (or some other variant of sedge). Whatever is it, it's spreading and I ain't happy! However, I LOVED your video. I was looking for a (hopefully) one and done solution so this really resonated. All the products should arrive by the end of this week. I'm a huge before/after fan so I'll be sure capture the progression. Stay tuned!
The one thing about nutsedge is it can always come back the following season because of those little nuts they put out. I did get some again this year but in completely different areas no idea as to why either
New subscribers I have Bermuda grass in central Kansas. Reseeded in June had to kill off a bunch of crabgrass that got out of control. Still have some bear spots.
@@donharper7759 crabgrass is the worst
Good video. Glad you put the results in the video. Makes a much better presentation with before and after photos! Keep up the good work. P.S. I have always heard you should not pull the plant up as it will not remove the underground root system. I think that is how it spreads by developing a spreading rooting system below the surface.
I always want to give you guys results otherwise I feel like it’s pointless! Definitely never pull the plant because that’s 100% how it spreads!
New subscriber. Kentucky blue grass/perennial Rye mix for lawn. Great info. I’m going to watch the video on crabgrass next. Thanks
I’m about to do a KBG lawn and maybe overseed either PRG as well
Thanks for the tip! I do have nutsedge in my transition zone, tall fescue & perennial rye lawn.
This stuff works
New subscriber. Hope this works. I am drowning in NUTSEDGE!
Thanks for subscribing! Nutsedge has been bad this year
I have found that if you have ANY WEED in an area that you can spray liberally as this man did at his fence in the back yard, where you can spray and not worry about killing any grass,plants or anything else growing , go to a hardware store( I go to Tractor Supply) and get a gallon of 30% vinegar(about $20) put it in a sprayer of your choice( I use a 16 or 32 oz sprayer) put enough of the 30% vinegar in your sprayer close tightly and go spray whatever it is you’re wanting to kill it WILL KILL IT by the time you’re up in the morning and go check on it …the weeds will be snow white and dead! I stopped buying expensive chemicals…but, make no mistake,you CANNOT SPRAY the 30% vinegar and it touch ANYTHING ELSE that is growing as it too will die!!! DO NOT spray this 30% vinegar as this gentleman did with the sledgehammer as ALL OF YOUR GRASS that the vinegar hits will KILL IT! Best wishes on killing your weeds. P.S. the vinegar you get at the supermarket(usually 3-4% vinegar WILL NOT DO THE JOB…you must get the 30% vinegar!
Absolutely! Only reason I used the sedgeghammer on those ones in the gravel was because I already had the mix up but I wanted to see the product work on the individual weed. Sometimes when it’s mixed in the grass it’s hard to see. Vinegar is a great weed killer if it’s not in grass
Live in the North Carolina on the coast near the Outer Banks. Large Bermuda grass lawn with a lot of Nutsedge after all the rain we’ve had. Have already purchased Sedge Hammer and Surfactant. Plan on spraying tomorrow
@@gregoryking5311 let’s get it!
Vinegar absolutely kills the top growth.
Two weeks later new growth will pop....
Nutsedge has spread to my flower garden. I’ve tried digging it up. I just spread more. Suggestions on how to spray it with/o killing my flowers.
So my understanding is it won’t kill those plants but it can burn them a bit…maybe best bet is mixing a batch and then putting in a small handheld spray bottle so you can do more accurate spraying?
@@treasuredLawn Im going to try that on a day with no wind. Also I might trim the black eyed Susan’s back a touch to avoid overspray. Thanks.
There are wand type products that you wipe the wick on the foliage.
I have zoysia in South Carolina near Charlotte. Also a new subscriber!
I envy some of yall southern lawns I love how they grow but then realize your summers are brutal! Thanks for the sub!
Good final.😂 Easy peasy lemon squeezy.🤣🤣
Can’t make it any simpler than that lol
I am a new subscriber…. Thank you.
@@schanniahmartin5038 thank you!
SedgeHammer definitely works. But if you're cheap like me and you have some time, you can do it all natural with a little effort.
I use a simple narrow jet blast of water to blast the dirt away and get down to the nut and roots.
Just grab the stem with your fingers and blast the water down the stem and you can slide your fingers down and eventually find the nut and roots. Yes, it's a little messy, but you don't need a powerful blast, just enough to blast away the dirt and slide your fingers down the hole. The dirt will flow right back in for the most part. But it's free and very satisfying, and maybe borderline fun to grab the nuts and roots and pluck them out whole.
Grab them nuts. LOL
New subscriber. I have zoysia in the front and a mixture of zoysia and centipede in the back. Great video. Thank you
Oh man I envy you warm season folks sometimes with your creeping grasses but then I remember the bulk of your work comes right now when I’d rather be inside 😂😂
Really great video. Very informative and well produced!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
New subscriber. I have primarily centipede grass but unfortunately have wild Bermuda, Bahia and other less desirable grass in my yard too.
Thanks for subscribing! That Bermuda can just take over a lawn at any point
New subscriber going to spray today I have centipede mainly a small section of Bermuda and a shaded area with st Augustine here in South Georgia
Good luck! I hate nudsedge it’s honestly the worst weed in a lawn and I say that over crabgrass
@@treasuredLawn Crabgrass I got down to a science finally nutsedge ugh, last 2 years I have also had a hell of a time killing the low clover iron seems to be helping. the good thing is from the road driving by no one can tell I have a weed at all

Just got the surfactant and nitrogen from the links on this video. I already have the Sledgehammer and a sprayer, although not as nice as yours, but I think I'm set. Fingers crossed
@@tonyz376 get it! Should work like a gem
@@treasuredLawn Your channel is checking a lot of boxes for me - nut grass, crabgrass...all the biggies.
@@tonyz376 what else you got? We can hit the rest lol
@@treasuredLawn Spurge!
@@tonyz376 oh man watch my speedzone video!
After your spray it and let it work when it change color do you ever pull the weed when it’s dead or leave it.
@@MrIowahawks77 I personally just keep mowing and then it disappears I never pull it
New subscriber! Great video and content overall.
Thank you so much! There’s plenty more to come! I’m just getting started! Lol
Would loved to see a pic of the day where the large clumps of nutsedge was totally brown. What day after application was that promise completed?
It never actually looks brown because as I mowed it just kind of disappeared you’ll just notice over time that the nutsedge that was there is no longer out growing your grass as that was always the big indicator to me.
I will give you 3.5 out of 5 blades on this bc you said "a little bit" of nitrogen - not a good reference when mixing a concoction. You also said lets go to the backyard "again" so does that mean you applied it twice in the backyard?
Hi
Will this hurt my trees or flower bed plants if it gets near?
Trees likely not but flowers you can see some burning but it shouldn’t kill them I would still take precautions spraying in flower beds
i have a couple of questions, one what about animals? i have dogs that unfortunately like to eat grass and will eat the nutsedge? secondly, i was looking at the label and it warned about spraying near lakes. i live next to a lake so any ideas?
Thank you!
Sedgehammer is safe for people and pets once it’s dried unfortunately there is absolutely nothing about what happens if your dog eats a sprayed area once it’s dried…as for lakes and water areas are you living on the lake or like it’s near you? If you have a good distance and no breeze you would be okay I think you can’t just spray it right near those water ways
Can you use Dawn dish soap as a surfactant & how long would you wait to give your grass area a second shot of Sedgehammer just to make sure it stays gone?
You can use Dawn I’m not sure how much is needed but I know it’s a decent surfactant. I haven’t needed more than one application in a season even for the big ones but it does say you can reapply 6-10 weeks after initial application.
@@treasuredLawn Thank you. Pretty much done with Sedge Ender!
I applied the single application package of sedgehammer two weeks ago and have not seen much change in it. I plan to spray it again today. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Did you use a surfactant? It’s a slow killing herbicide so its not super fast but it should be okay did you use any nitrogen in your mix?
New subscriber do you have a guide of what we can use during all summer and also an advice how to level my lawn
@@miguelpasillas1391 yes! I had a summer video recorded this year but was unfortunately corrupted and didn’t get out in time. I will be doing a lawn leveling video later this year as well!
@@treasuredLawn best time to do the leveling?
@@miguelpasillas1391 best answer is when your lawn is actively growing. If you have cool season lawns that’s going to be spring and fall and warm season lawns will be summer.
@@treasuredLawn thanks so much for the info
@@miguelpasillas1391 anytime!
Good video! Where did you get the nitrogen? What's a guess amount you added to the 2 gallons?
I would use any lawn nitrogen fertilizer right now I’m using turf titan lawn commander. You don’t need a lot of it just enough to trick the plant so maybe for 2gallons you can put in like 2-3 oz that should be more than enough.
@@treasuredLawn Thanks
@@user-io1xz6gh3r of course! Anytime!
Is this safe to use in landscaping beds?
We have bermuda grass lawn in Oklahoma. I see the nutsedge throughout the lawn. Have you ever used the blue dye so you know you’ve sprayed all the spots?
Another viewer mentioned combining Sedgehammer with Dismiss. I’m not familiar with it. What are the benefits and risks of combining?
You can use it in landscaping beds. I love the blue dye I use it all the time.
I haven’t used dismiss before so I’m not familiar on the benefits or risks unfortunately
@@treasuredLawn thank you! I have been afraid to use it around the planting beds. You’ve eased my mind.
You just can’t use it around vegetable gardens!
@@treasuredLawn you’re right, absolutely not for our veggie gardens. I try to be as pesticide free as possible, but nutsedge and mealybugs are my cross to bear!
Do you need to spray it yearly once it gone to keep it away? Thanks
@@rockstarrob19 chances are you will. What’s odd for me this year is I have it in areas I didn’t have it last year
I have a huge infestation of nutsedge in my vegetable garden. If I use Sedgehammer, how long does it stay in the soil and will it, at some point, be safe to plant vegetables again?
I would highly advise avoiding using it in vegetable gardens. I’m not sure how long it stays but in those situations you can try a heavy vinegar mix and sometimes that can help. The vinegar mix isn’t safe for the lawn because it will kill the grass
Solid video! Helpful and educational!
Of course! Hopefully it helps you knock that nutsedge out of your yard!
This product isn't an option for me because I live next to a Great Lake. Do you think throwing a tarp down for a couple weeks would kill everything, including the nutsedge so I could reseed and start over?
Hmmm idk nutsedge is crazy I have seen it come through some extremely thick weed barriers even those tarp like ones. It’s possible but you could also try a vinegar mix that might work but you’ll likely kill the grass too. Hard part is nutsedge tends to come back every year and only after years of treatment does it stay away.
@@treasuredLawn thanks for your reply. I was thinking more of using the tarp to smother the entire area including the grass. Then starting over by removing the dead debris best I can, add a bit of new soil and grass seed. The weed has been growing yearly to what is now 90% coverage. I don't think I would have much to lose with killing it all and starting over. Maybe I'll add some vinegar in the equation to make sure the nutsedge is totally killed off? My concern is how resilient those little seeds are.
Looks you have to buy a sprayer and all those chemicals plus Sedgehammer. That would be a lot of stuff for just doing your own lawn one time.
The sprayer is useful for all your fertilizer needs and can be used for other applications as well.
@@treasuredLawn Can a hand pump one work for this also?
@@JRS-iq9pzabsolutely it could
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and wondering if you can do a video on, or make a recommendation, for treating Lespedeza also known as Japanese clover? I have nutsedge and lespedeza throughout my entire lawn and would like to do a blanket treatment with a hose-end sprayer. to treat both if possible. Im a lawn newbie and just trying to learn what I can. I have St Aug grass. Thanks! Baton Rouge, La.
I would love to but unfortunately that’s not a weed that is found in my area BUT I do have a video coming out Sunday for a product that does treat Lespedeza!
@@treasuredLawn that sounds AMAZING!! I will definitely be watching! Thanks for taking the time to put out this much-needed content!!
@@glopez1455 of course! I’m here to help you all and I’m glad you enjoy it!
Tell me how to kill morning glory. It is such a pain and grows 4 to 7 inches per day. I spend my summer saturday mornings pulling it. I've tried steaming the roots, weed killer, etc... it kills the surface weed, but doesn't pen the root system.
I wish I could unfortunately I just don’t know how to safely attack it once it’s in your lawn I know pulling it just causes it to spread more but man that’s a tough one.
Did you have to turn off your irrigation so you don't wash it off? I just got the sedge hammer and will plan to apply it after this heat wave passes. I do water every day, so I'm worried that turning off irrigation will damage the lawn especially that we've barely gotten any rain. Thank you for this video.
Sedgehammer is rainfast in 4 hours you just want to make sure you give it a good spray. So as long as you wait about 4 hours you should be fine. My system would be to spray sedgehammer in the evening and then let the irrigation do its thing in the morning.
@@treasuredLawn Thank you so much.
@@KickinChick06of course!
@Obscurefollowing Sorry, last question. Do you just leave the dead nustedge in the ground or do you try to pull them out once they die off?
@@KickinChick06 good question, if it’s in the grass I just leave it anywhere else I’ll basically weed wack it once it’s dead and brown but I never pull it
Certainty is FAR SUPERIOR!! I’ve used both w total kill w certainty and the nutsedge returns w the sedgehammer. Use a lil surfactant
I’ll for sure give it a shot next season. So far all this stuff is gone and hasn’t returned but next year if it comes back I think a good head to head battle would be solid
Will Celsius WG work on this nutsedge❓
@@sangueguerriero9538 I have not tried it yet. I can’t give a solid recommendation for it unfortunately
What is far superior?
I'm a new subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! What kind of lawn do you have
Try mixing Sedgehammer with Dismiss. Quicker, more complete kill
What is dismiss? I don’t see this on Amazon.
I have an organic vegetable garden. The grass slightly uphill from it (about a patch 8 feet wide) has an "infestation" of purple and yellow nutsedge. Beyond this patch, I have a large flower bed, which I have been losing the battle with nutsedge infestation for years! I have tried Image, and our lawn company will NOT spray anything in a flower bed or near a vegetable garden to kill nutsedge. I need real help! Can I spray Sedgehammer -- with your surfactant and liquid nitrogen -- on the (1) nutsedge adjacent to a vegetable garden and/or (2) nutsedge in a rose/perennial bed. I know I cannot continue pulling this weed grass -- that was a mistake. RoundUp will kill everything -- grass, perennials, roses -- if I use in the rose/perennial bed and ruin our vegetables for consumption. What can I do???
I completely understand but I agree with the companies I wouldn’t spray this near any vegetable garden.
What type of grass is that you sprayed the sedgehammer in?? I have zeon zoysia. I am wanting to know if it’s safe to use on my lawn.
@@rjm2010 I used it on rye but it is safe on zoysia as long as you follow the rates on the bottle which may be different than the rates I used.
How long does it take the granular to dissolve because my sedgehammer has yet to work for me? Mine are on a slope but the solution should latch on the nutsedge immediately. 🤔
In the water? It shouldn’t take long. I’d give it a few min of aggregation. Make sure you’re using a surfactant so it sticks to your nutsedge. It does take time to watch it fully die but it does kill it from spreading
Ever since I’ve been fertilizing with 20-4-1 all my nutsedge and crabgrass is annihilated and hasn’t come back in 2 years.
I feel like once you get it under control you’re good but for us our irrigation water is kind of tainted by plants so I feel like that’s how we get ours. Trade off for super cheap irrigation

Great video, and thanks for including the results... nobody else does that.
I try to include the results when I can! What kind of grass do you have?
@@treasuredLawn I just recently (early September) renovated mine and my neighbor's front yards with Mountain View Seeds Tall Fescue blend. My neighbor got some nutsedge to pop up, and I have Sedgehammer but I was kinda scared to spray the baby grass for fear Sedgehammer may hurt it
@@MrMbrownjr I agree I would have waited too same happened to me last year I really baby that baby grass
Its summer here in South Carolina, any heat restrictions on when to treat?
@@Control-Freak so it’s best applied when temperatures are below 85. If you can get out in the early morning and spray you’ll be okay.
I have nutsedge and crabgrass. Which should I tackle first? Thanks.
@@blagovestvk my personal opinion is crabgrass because it will spread and take over a lawn, crabgrass only spreads if you try to pull it
@@treasuredLawn Thank you! Crabgrass also spreads if you pull it or your meant nutsedge?
@@blagovestvkcrabgrass will spread on its own which can easily overtake your lawn. Where as nutsedge will not spread unless you try to pull it. Cutting nutsedge just keeps it there until you can take care of it
After I spray, how long do I wait to pull the nutsedge. I’m about 4 weeks since I sprayed.
you should have nothing left to pull you may need to reapply
I just put down St Augustine grass and have some just arriving. I now know not to pull it.
Do you know if this product works w St Augustine?
I bought some nutsedge killer from the store a few years bk, and it killed my St augustine
I believe you should be okay on st Augustine I would avoid spraying it down though on very hot days. Everything I found says it’s safe for St Augustine.
Can you use sedgehammer next to vegetable garden?
I would advise against it. You definitely can’t use it in a vegetable garden and I wouldn’t want to chance the drift in that situation
Can this be applied if temps are high 80’s 90?
@@sal6830 it’s best applied when temps are below 85 degrees
Sledgehammer is not available in California 😢
can I use it in my raised tomato beds?
No you cannot not use this anywhere near a vegetable garden unfortunately
Yes, it works excellent but it will be back again next year
It will but it’s likely not the same plant unfortunately with nutsedge it takes a couple years of applications to keep it from coming back
@@treasuredLawn I have been spraying houses for 30 years in the same houses still have nutgrass
@@robsolo4024 that’s absolutely insane!
i need to see after 8 day

Glad to have you here! How you loving your KBG lawn? I’m contemplating doing a KBG spot next year
it started off I just wanted something different than off my neighbors everybody online seems to have Bermuda or Zoysia but when I bought the house it had TTF@@treasuredLawn
I’m not the biggest TTF fan in the world but sometimes I’d love a warm season lawn 🤣🤣
Anytime you buy bagged mulch, topsoil or manure, you will introduce nutsedge to your lawn.
Which means the only possible source this came from was peat moss since any soil I introduced has been from bulk nursery
Where did you get your sledgehammer?
I got mine on Amazon, there should be a link in the description of the video of everything I used for you :)

I have Bermuda with.a Fescue issue here in Texas. Sorry for the re-edit, but all the solutions I have seen run from $400 to $900 bucks to resolve. Any suggestions?
Like there is fescue mixed in your Bermuda?
@@treasuredLawn yes sir. The Bermuda is the main part of my lawn, but because of where the community was built on farm land, this Fescue is a pain in the butt. I would like to get rid of it and let my Bermuda shine all by itself.
@@momorgan9793 I assume it’s like a clumping fescue right? I think a solution that could work is you could spot kill the fescue with glyphosate once killed you could use a pro plugger and take me some plugs of Bermuda and put it in the killed off fescue areas and then let it spread as it naturally would. This won’t be a quick fix but I think this could help and eventually get you the 100% Bermuda look. I’m a cool season guy so my knowledge of warm seasons isn’t as high but I know Bermuda can spread like crazy so I feel like that would work.
@@treasuredLawn Thank you for all your help sir. I will give it a try and go patch by patch so I dont have to redo the entire lawn. Thank you again for all your help.
@@momorgan9793 I feel like that’s the best option without a complete tear out. Or you could kill those areas and resod them but you already have sod at your disposal the sod option would just be faster at filling in and recovering
Great video Vince. Loved seeing the mature plants and the results. No one else ever shows the mature sedges. I have them in my raised flower beds and its like Land Of the Giants in there lol. 👍🏻💚🦸🏻♂
I kept letting them grow and my wife was like when are you going to take care of these? I was like chill I got this 🤣🤣 I wanted everyone to see what they look like when they really get big! Appreciate and love the feedback!
I used the single application package of sledgehammer on the nut grass in my flowerbeds two weeks ago and they don’t look much different than they did then. I’m going to apply more today and see if that will kill it. I am having a terrible time with the nut grass. I didn’t realize that’s what it was and kept trying to dig it up so I’m sure I made it worse to begin with. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
