How to get rid of unwanted fescues
I don't know if it will work in your case, cut sometimes letting the good
grass grow another inch or two taller than normal before cutting it, will kill out crab grass and weeds. You may need to grow it that long all summer, and it might work within a month or two, but I would think it would be worth a try. Otherwise, I have heard of a spray called "over the top" that might work in your case. You would have to make sure it wouldn't hurt your zoysia and anything else you have it around, but it was safe to use around a large list of plants.

I don't know your zone, but if your zoysia goes completely dormant in the winter (turns brown with no green), the fescue can be removed in January or February by spraying it with RoundUp. I did that to the fescue in my bermuda lawn. I have to admit there was some kill to the bermuda and small bare spots, but it quickly filled in during the spring and summer, and the fescue is gone. Be selective in where you spray the RoundUp so that it only hits areas with green fescue. John |
