Looks more like centipede grass...tends to have thicker stolons than bermuda. But may also be St.Augustine grass. As you've found out, very invasive, which is part of why people use it. Unless you can use roundup along the edge of your yard, you can try using a selective herbicide, combined with making sure your lawn is well-fed so the centipede grass can't competeCan someone identify this grass for me? Our old neighbor planted it on purpose and it's taken over his lawn completely and now making inroads into ours. It’s a warm weather grass, which turns brown as soon as it gets cold here. Looks like crap. The red parts of the stem are stiff, and it spreads by sending out these long trails of invaders, and then Seems to branch off in all directions.

I just put down $8000 worth of bermuda grass sod...the stolons are much finer than what you have pictured. But the builder put centipede grass plugs in the backyard, and it looks almost exactly like that. I basically had to go "scorched earth" and kill off everything before the sod went down. Worth the effort, I have a nice green carpet that feels great under bare feet
