I have lime green grass? Is this crab grass in my lawn? Is crabgrass perennial or annual?

Do I have crab grass?

Crabgrass is an annual grass that germinates in the summer when the temperature of the soil reaches 55 Degrees Fahrenheit consistently and is generally finished by the first good frost. Crabgrass is light green in color, coarse bladed, and will root at the nodes when they touch the ground. Crabgrass leaves are rolled in the bud. They first appear wide, short, and blunt-tipped.  A single crabgrass plant can produce up to 700 tillers. It is a grass that appears in a bunch. It can also produce 150,000 seeds. It needs warm soil and sunlight to germinate. Crabgrass can be found in all 50 States.

Do not verticut, seed, or core aerate when the soil and weather conditions are prime for the germination of crabgrass. By doing a slightly raised mowing height may help prevent the establishment by providing shade from sunlight. When crabgrass is going to seed, lower the mower height and collect the clippings to prevent seeds from establishing in the lawn. Crabgrass can be one of the least desired things to grow in your lawn. Pre-emergent from Weed Man can drastically reduce the amount of crab grass in the turf.
