The taller bits tended to be weeds with thicker stems that didn't mow
well. For those I had a hand operated weed whacker that I swung like
a Nine-iron ---

I'm strongly considering putting in zoysia grass to replace the stuff
the highway department re-seded with after widening my street ans digging
up part of my yard. Their mix of "grass" contains a lot of timothy and
other fast growing B.S. and it's taaking over the rest of the yeard.

Zoysia grass spreads by stolons which grow slowly but form very dense 
turf once established. This thick growth gives weeds no chance to grow 
and helps immensely with water retention. The deep roots grow 
aggressively and can draw water directly from the table.

Getting it established can take some effort. And it "browns" quickly in
fall/winter while tolerating the colder temps.

Once zoysia grass has achieved its dense growth, maintenance is reduced 
to almost nothing.
