    For more rapid ID it's always a good idea to show individual leaves, stems and blossoms if any.
    Also use something for scale known worldwide such as a golfball.

    Welcome kelmen.

    On www Japanese carpet grass is listed under 2 names.

    1 Manila grass.

    2.Zoysia matrella which is another name for Manila grass.

    However, this is not what your pic shows.
    Your pic looks like an Oxalis leaf. But I cannot think of such a tiny carpeting Oxalis.

    Saltcedar is correct we need to see a clear close up with scale.

    I can't see the leaves close enough to identify from the photo, but I know that Dichondra is used for lawns in some areas.
