Can anyone tell me what type of weed this is and how to get rid of it?

I'm not at all sure the growth shown in your image is a weed - it looks more like an emerging clump of an herbaceous perennial of some sort, although I don't recognise it at this stage. How long has it been there, did it just appear out of nowhere and is it continuing to get taller?

We just moved into this house we bought on April 1st. I'm not at all familiar with with plants but would like to learn. Would you like more pictures?

Ah okay. The standard advice with a garden you've acquired but don't know is to wait a year, just stripping out any obvious weeds, and watching what pops up - there may be hidden bulbs and other plants which haven't surfaced yet. Some you may want to keep, many you may not. I can see some weedy growth in there, there's something with a tooth edged leaf and also some grass blades visible, but weeds don't usually come up as a large clump like this. Maybe wait a bit then post another picture as it grows, maybe we'll recognise it then?

It looks a bit like a dwarf Hypericum, now, but there are other candidates.

? My kids and I ripped up a chunk of these before I realized they may not be weeds. We'll leave the rest alone! Thank you! First time home owner here. There are a lot of bushes, trees, flowers etc here that idk. I think I'll make another post with a bush/tree I've been trying to put a name to. Thank you again everyone.
