    Unfortunately, persistence is necessary with this grass. Zoysia is extremely difficult to get rid of. You can either mow it down as close as possible to the ground and treat with herbicide or remove the sod with a sod cutter. Small areas or patches of Zoysia in a lawn can be treated with a non-selective type herbicide, such as Round-up. For best results, apply the herbicide when the Zoysia grass is still green, actively growing and not dormant or under drought stress. Since Zoysia grass may regrow, more than one application will probably be needed.

    Most sprinklers will be fine. Just make sure the water is evenly and gently applied. Really, the only thing you need to avoid is a jet of water.

    As long as the new seed is growing, there is no chemical you can really apply to eliminate the annual bluegrass. But, you can use boiling water. Boiling water will instantly kill any plant in comes in contact with and leaves the soil un-contaminated.

    I would suggest talking with your County Extension Office for a list of Bluegrass suitable to your region.

    We cannot recommend specific retailers through the site. It looks like this seed may be difficult to find, but several companies seem to be offering it online. Your local extension office may be able to help too.
