My neighbors zoysia is overtaking my yard.
Comments (1)From what I understand, zoysia is just a fancy bermuda grass. goodbye gardens and flower beds! there is a chemical now thats supposed to kill it, but roundup wont touch it. good luck, i've battled bermuda for 40 years--its winning....See MoreThis plant is in my neighbors yard.

Comments (5)I'm in Ca. each house is a little lower or higher than last house. Stair-Step style I guess you could call it. They want you to think you live on a slight hill. Anyway a neighbor's water could run onto our property so we put a drain pipe out to the street along side the house buried with a small grate at each end that's cemented around outside of pipe to carry water out of back yard & out to street. We don't get much rain here but did see about 6 inches of water round in back once long ago & most drains off. I don't see any reason you would be going onto his property. We have common walls here too, we each paid 1/2 of block wall & it's on the property line, usually there is at least 5 ft beside the house, maybe you need to put more dirt in so check with inspector to see if your property was properly graded. Our new home was a shock because day we signed the papers we came over & they had graded the back yard, high way at back & all water would run into house in storms as large patio door, sliding glass, only few inches above dirt, lucky for us they came & regraded it but we also had to do a lot more work & make it so we wouldn't have problems. I think problem is with your place not being graded properly. Guy that graded it probably didn't know a thing about grading, just thought you move some dirt around so looks ready to plant....See MoreWhat is this plant in my neighbor's yard?
Comments (9)You can propagate it from seed, though I think the seeds have low germination rates. The one in my garden never has sowed one volunteer in the surrounding area and I have tons of self-seeding plants all around it that produce volunteers like crazy, so that's probably a clue. It grows in a clumping manner, continually expanding outward via rhizomes, so I think it would be easy to divide an existing plant by digging it up and dividing it in fall, though I've never tried it myself. You also could take softwood cuttings in spring and root them. With the seed, you wait until the bloom period has ended and the seedheads have turned brown. If you go that route, sow a ton of seeds because germination will be low....See Moremarmiegard_z7b
