Couch grass is just as bad as insects and pests in your plants, so you need to get rid of them ASAP. The way to get rid of couch grass is to use weed killer. Never use a hoe, because when it cuts it up, the little pieces will multiply and it will spread like the plague.
If you don't have a lawn yet, and you're just getting started, spray it for couch grass before you lay down your lawn. If your weed killer doesn't work, your last resort is poison. Now, when you poison your couch grass it will also kill your normal grass. So make sure that you tried your weed killer, just in case.
