Actually, zoysia will choke Bermuda.

Every lawn in my community started as Bermuda because it's heat/sun/drought tolerant which we get a fair bit of in TX.

As the community aged and the trees matured we all had to start replacing our lawns since Bermuda does not do well in shade.

I replaced with Emerald Zoysia.

My neighbor did his in Emerald Zoysia a couple of years before me. He did half the common space between our houses and it has mostly spread and pushed out my Bermuda in that area.

It's also crept into and is taking over the neighbors back yard on the other side.

Zoysia, the Emerald, is a really nice grass. Soft, dense, gets really rich green in the summer. Just takes a little longer to get going in the spring but it's an awesome variety and tolerates full sun as well as shade.
