Planting

• The lawn should be thoroughly weeded before planting zoysia grass to remove any existing weeds and their roots. This helps to keep the soil free of problems for the young grass.
  
  

Weeding

• Any weeds that grow during the spring and summer should be removed, destroyed and disposed of to prevent them from seeding and creating more weeds. Removing the roots of weeds helps prevent them from growing again.
  
  

Herbicides

• Chemical herbicides can help prevent or control a weed breakout by killing off weeds as they grow. Apply herbicides at the beginning of the growing season and as necessary through the summer to control weeds.
