I have been working this new deign for five weeks on my zoysia lawn.

When I moved into my home in 2017 the lawn was mostly weeds and dirt. Very little grass.

With regular maintenance (lime, fertilizer, and overseeding) I was able to get some grass to grow. 3 years ago I started applying Fiesta broadleaf herbicide to control the weeds.

Things were looking up, but last summer we went 6-7 weeks with 0 rain. I live in Newfoundland, so I've never needed to water it regularly, and by the time I started doing that much of my grass died and the weeds took over.

This summer I've been able to get it somewhat back thanks to my regular maintenance, but I still have a ton of weeds. Back lawn is much worse than front lawn.

I plan to aerate in September (which I've never done) before I overseed. Outside of Fiesta, I don't think there is anything better for weeds that I can use in Canada.

Any other advice to try and choke out the weeds and make my lawn glorious?

Bermuda lawn. Cut it at #6 in my mower so not too low. Water it for 20 min, 3 times a week. I just don’t understand why only this patch gets brown like this. Thanks for the help!
