I assume you have Empire Zoysia. It is moderately shade tolerant. You indicated that the area gets no direct sunlight. That could be part of your problem. Compacted soil with bad drainage could also play a role. You might want to contact Jim Davis at the Extension Service for an opinion.

Have asked the neighbor to reduce but they just will not do it! My water is off on that side. What can I do? I will resod but not until they stop flooding my property. They will just kill any new grass.
