Crossbow Herbicide could possibly harm holly but it is not labeled for this plant so we cannot recommend it for controlling/killing it. Holly shrubs would need to be treated like trees, in which case you would cut the shrubs down to stumps and then treat the fresh cuts. Crossbow Herbicide is labeled for the control of most kinds of unwanted trees. On page 5 of the label you can find directions on how to use for conventional basal bark and stump applications.
Crossbow should not harm established trees but may damage younger trees if applied directly to them. To avoid injury, do not apply directly on or within the drip line of smaller trees. It does not list lilac as a tolerable species.

You can use Speedzone Southern for Dollarweed in St. Augustine grass. According to the product label of Speedzone Southern: The turf tolerance to this product may vary and temporary turf grass yellowing may occur on St Augustine. Do not apply Speedzone Southern to Floratam, Bitterblue or other improved species of St Augustine. Do not broadcast or spot spray St Augustine during the fall to winter transition or if temperatures are expected to fall below 40F within 10 days of the application.
To kill Hemlock trees you want to take hatchet or something like that and make chops into the trunk. Then you would apply the Crossbow undiluted by spraying or painting on the cuts.

Spray the basal parts of brush or trees to a height of 15 to 20 inches from the ground...For better regrowth control, cut the larger trees and treat the stumps."
