Zoysia grass is a warm season grass that grows well in areas with warm summers and mild winters. It grows during the hot months and produces a thick layer of turf that fights off summer weeds, according to the University of Rhode Island. Zoysia is tolerant of many soil types, including those with low fertility, and it is drought tolerant. However, zoysia turns brown in October and does not fend off winter weeds well. In this case you can use a broadleaf weed killer to get rid of the weeds in zoysia grass.
Things You'll Need
Broadleaf weed killer
Gloves
Pull out any weeds by hand that are noticeable in the zoysia grass.
Spray the broadleaf weed killer on the weeds in your zoysia on a dry day when there will be no irrigation or rain for two days. The temperature should be between 60 and 80 F. Spray the leaves of the weeds all the way to their bases.
Wait for three to four days for the weeds in your zoysia to die. If some weeds are still present spray them again.
Pull out the dead weeds once they turn brown and wilt.
