What is growing in my lawn?

10 years ago

I need to make my lawn look better. Can anyone identify these grasses/weeds so I can figure out what to do? I'm in SW Michigan.

Picture 1: These spread out instead of up, so my reel mower misses them.

Picture 2: Growing along a sidewalk crack.

Picture 5: This grows faster and goes to seed before the rest of my lawn needs to be mowed.

All the pictures link to bigger versions. Thanks for your help!
