I obtained a customer today with real expensive taste. When I say expensive taste, this customer has a 1/4 of a million dollars in his back yard between his large marble pool with a marble hot-tub, with curving stairs that go up onto a deck that overlooks the pool and a golf coarse, along with a "chill area" for tanning, another chill area for watching the flat screens out doors, and a full bar with more stainless steel than a stain-less steel factory. I know that's unnecessary information, but it's quite interesting the things we see on a day to day basis. :dancing: Long story short, this customer has a Zoysia lawn. Appears to be Cavalier Zoysia. He's requesting weekly service and weed control as needed. His weeds are pretty bad right now as the lawn hasn't been maintained over the winter, early spring. What would be safe options to spray on the Zoysia for broadleaf weeds. The customer is willing to pay for whatever and told me to do what needs to be done to it. Although, I hate to spray the Zoysia with ANYTHING. I personally have a Zoysia lawn and mow frequently every 3 days at least, and have never even seen a weed in my lawn. I could set this customer to mow every 5 days and I think his Weed Problems would be gone and his lawn would look much nicer like the Zoysia should. But if he insist on me spraying a weed killer, what would be the choices for the Zoysia. I am very familiar with fertilizing the Zoysia, but never had to apply a weed killer on mine.

Celcius is labeled as safe for Zoysia. I use it quite a bit since we have a lot of centipede here and it works well.
Here's a label:

Any idea on who has the best prices on the Celcius, Spped zone, trimec, or a good 3-way product in the south? I know JDL of coarse, but looking for an alternative source. I had a bad run in with JDL customer service recently and really don't want to go around JDL. Any idea of any sources for these around Austin, Tx?
I think I might wind up going with putting down some dimension pretty quickly. As far as the Zoysia, treating them like Baramuda be careful on the nitrogen. One thing I noticed last year when putting down a little too much nitrogen they are still suspect-able to disease. At least in our hot area. I've found .50-.60N per month works best on our Zoysia where as you know you could probably be safe feeding Baramuda a whole pound a month.
Still have time?
It's never too late to put out a pre-emergent. Got to build that barrier at some point.
