    Treat the entire lawn area with a non-selective herbicide, like Round-up. While herbicide treatments usually begin in late summer, to achieve the best results, apply the herbicide while the grass is still green and actively growing.

    Also keep in mind that non-selective herbicides still have the potential to kill other plants on contact. Therefore, use it with caution when applying near garden plants.

    You can use a reel mower for zoysia grass, but you don't have to. It's ok to use an ordinary lawn mower. Zoysia grass should be kept at a mowing height between 3/4 to 2 inches.

    It depends on what kind of soil it is going in and what conditions the grass is growing under, but for the most part, zoysia would be suitable for growing in your area, especially since its going dormant (and turning brown) is okay with you.

    Yes, it can be scalped to one inch now in spring. After that the zoysia grass should be kept at a mowing height between 3/4 to 2 inches.

    I would water once or twice a week only. This creates a healthier grass as the roots grow deeper. The amount you water should be between 1-2" (or more), depending on how hot it gets in your area.

    Since zoysia is prone to developing thatch, especially in thick lawns, I would not leave it to mulch but instead bag the grass and toss it into the compost heap.
