How to get rid of St. Augustine grass in a zoysia lawn
 

About half of my lawn has beautiful zoysia grass but the rest is St. Augustine grass. Any surefire ways to get rid of the St. Augustine? Thanks!

River rock...or asphalt.


With all of the problems I've had finding a good lawn company, I've come to the conclusion...that xeriscaping is the way to go. :oops:



:D

Patients
 

We have both, originally St Augustine, but when I need new sod I get Zoysia. At first the St Augustine will start to invade the Zoysia, but the Zoysia wins in the end. Be patient.

I sent you a PM.:crap2:

How to get rid of st. Augustine in zoysia
 

From your post it sounds like you have a lot of intrusion.

It is the result of your lawn,"care," people mowing without cleaning their equipment.

The empire zoysia-what you have in the villages cab take stronger solutions of weed killers than st Augustine. Also
the zoysia spreads by underground rizomes and the St Augustine by surface rizomes.

You can use all the above to beat back your St Augustime INVASION. Use a convex rake, sometimes called a puss pull rake to pull out the top rizomes from the st augustime grass. The on a day of about 80+, apply a double strength dose of 24d (broad-leaf weedkiller) done right, it will kill the st augustime not the zoysia.

Another common weedkiller that will KILL St Augustime but NOT zoysia is QUINCTORAC. You can buy this mailorder as
QUIN KILL MAX a pint is 38.29 and it covers 10,000 sq ft.
