I had 19 pallets of Zoysa sod laid in my yard 2 weeks ago. Since then I have been watering it like crazy. What I can not believe is how many weeds are in the yard. All kinds of weeds, everywhere. The previous yard was removed, tilled, new sand laid then the new sod.
I am shocked at all the weeds. I thought this type of grass did well in choking out the weeds.
Any recommendations? Have not put any chemicals or treatments on the yard yet, As I said, it just was put down 2 weeks ago.
I do enjoy a good Squirt now and then.

When you tilled the existing soil and then started dumping water to it you woke up dormant weed seeds.
If they are grassy weeds, you will have to mow them constantly or pull them. Obamas epa did away with the only chemical that effectively killed grassy weeds. If they are broadleaf weeds, spray 2,4-d herbicide on them.

Did you have a lot of those type weeds before the install or are you thinking they came with the sod.

I went through the exact same scenario a couple years ago. Took two seasons to weed out the weeds.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.
If you put beans in your chili, you don't know beans about chili.
God doesn't create temporary people, you will spend eternity somewhere. Choose wisely.

Jman will know the answer to your question. I would surmise that the weeds were in the Zoysia sod that you bought. The Zoysia we had installed on our front yard did not have a weed one in it. Yours could be a bad batch.

MERCY - not receiving what you deserve GRACE - receiving what you don't deserve Preach the gospel at all times; USE WORDS IF NECESSARY "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness." I'd rather walk with God with no questions answered than to walk thru life without Him and know the answers
