Hi Alex, thanks mate! You have kikuyu there, very invasive grass. So much so some people call it a weed. It can make for a great quick repairing lawn though when managed well. As for the garden beds its always going to be a bit of a battle with kikuyu. It grows from aboveground and below ground runners which is why it can pop up in garden beds from underneath. This makes it very hard to stop. Deep garden edging can help to an extent, plus regular edging or use of a nonselective herbicide carefully to treat and eradicate where you dont want it.
