Re: Weed ID please
Oh Lord - I know it and you're not going to like the ID or the work that puppy is going to take...
That's Japanese Stiltgrass, and eradicating it permanently takes two years, and a combination of Pre-M and a pretty expensive herbicide.
You need to have a Pre-M that is in-force around Memorial Day, and a post-emergent called "Acclaim Extra" (Fenoxaprop) for an active infestation. Acclaim Extra costs around $90 for a 16-oz bottle.
Does your neighbors property (or your's) back up to a wooded area? Japanese Stiltgrass put the capital "I" in "Invasive" - don't play around with it.

Re: Weed ID please
Thanks Andy. This is at my parent's house, not mine, but yes, both houses back up against woods. I'll let him know what it is and what the solution is. It might just be on a small hill between the two properties, not in the main lawn (yet), so perhaps he'll just round it up...
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Re: Weed ID please
RoundUp will work for this year, but it has probably gone through the seeding cycle, so it will be back next year. It germinates late (just before Memorial Day), so making sure that a Pre-M is applied and active is critical at that time, to break the cycle. Repeat the Pre-M the following year,
