I just posted about this. Infiltration of the St. Augustine is inevitable. That small amount of sod which was planted by the original owner of our home has crept it's way and is not nearly the dominant grass on our property. My neighbor behind our home had St. Augustine on his property which infiltrated our Zoisia when we moved in. That Zoisia is now gone and the lawn in the back yard is pretty much solid St. Augustine.

The St. Augustine is stronger than the Zoisia. The Zoisia loses and St. Augustine wins. Not sure how the neighbors feel but there is nothing I can do about it. It is what it is.
