But the clippings in the mulch beds can't be raked and it just piles up every week. As a result, I have layers of dead grass all through my mulch beds and plants.

Tom, what do I do about that?????
GET A NEW MOWING COMPANY!!! Sounds to me like they are doing a really half-arsed job and getting paid anyway. Who the hell blows grass into someones flower beds?!?! Who the heck doesnt go around with a blower and blow the clumps left behind by the mower away?!?! Sounds like their mower is shooting the grass out the side and all over the place, not using mulching blades and attatchments and dropping the grass right where the mower drove over. seriously...sounds like you need to find a new compaany...one that cares about more than the monthly check.

Also as a side note...Zoysia clumps badly when its mowed wet or damp from the morning dew. This happens even with the mulching blades and attatchments. If this is the case, the clumps should have been blown to be broken up and dispersed until they are gone
