Mercifully not one of the challenges we have in our particular area. We planted a lot of spirea, speedwells, and some other easy to care for greenery last year. It sort of overtook us this year, but not in a bad way - we just need to do a few relocations so things aren't as crowded. Looks better than it did, LOL! Keep fighting the good fight, invasive non-native plants (and animals) can be a real problem.
Hey Bill, yeah you are LUCKY to not have this stinker. The best is to cram the beds with plants that shade it out. I've just been pulling some the brown eyed susan patches ... the stiltgrass still makes into these beds, but not nearly as much. :^)
Ugh I can feel your pain in your description. But, you've got a plan and perseverance! Bravo!!
