re: Torpedo Grass - Any hope, or should I concrete the lawn?

Others have stated your options to go nuclear or live with it. If your neighbor doesn’t want to spend the money to go nuclear then you’ll have to live with it. Consider this:

If you are going to live with it, try to keep it on that side of your driveway. Always cut the clean / non-torpedo side first, and always blow clippings into the torpedo side. It can go under your driveway and jump to the other side, but you’re more likely to bring it to the other side from your lawn mower or blowing the clippings. And yes, torpedo will find a way to grow from its clippings.

If it’s in your backyard, then glyphosate everything and convert to Bermuda. You’ll be able to suppress it with Quinclorac and you shouldn’t have much of a problem.
