There are more than one grass that is being used on Lawn, called with various names, KENYA GRASS, JAPANESE GRASS, LAWN GRASS, CARPET GRASS, MEXICAN CARPET GRASS, FLAT GRASS<\/b> etc. So with this picture its not possible to make out. Flowers may help.<\/p>\n

\n

Carpet grass planted in Delhi and other parts of North India is cushion like with very narrow almost needle like leaves. It is <\/span>Axonopus compressus<\/i>. Normal lawn grass is doob grass, <\/span>Cynodon dactylon<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Rather, any one maintaining the lawn won’t allow it to flower through regular mowing. Leave a small patch undisturbed, and hope it flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
