Toward the end of this article in the link below it says dollarweed in landscape beds may need chemical control such as glyphosate. You will need to protect your desirable plants with cardboard before spraying. I have seen a spray that comes out like a foam so it is easier to see if it hits the wrong plant and you can rinse it off (or just pull the leaf off). The weeds under your plants may need to be manually removed. Just try not to dig too much. It also says these weeds like water, so reducing the watering may help.
