ZOYSIA GRASSES - SEED & PLUGS
Zoysia Grasses are grown successfully from the upper warm tropical season areas north to even in some areas of the cool season zones, depending on the variety.  Zoysia makes a beautiful lawn with a fine to medium textured leaf.  Zenith Zoysia is known to survive as far north as Chicago.

Zoysia grass originated from areas in Southeast Asia, China and Japan. It is a low growing,  creeping grass, heat resistant, wiry, possibly uncomfortable under foot. Zoysia is slow to establish but aggressive and competes with weeds for its own space.

Zoysia is a warm season grass that can be grown further north than many of the other warm season grasses. It makes one of the most beautiful, carpeted lawns when fully established. - Below: Compadre Zoysia on left, Zenith Zoysia on Right.

Why the Love or Hate of having a Zoysia Lawn? -

Zoysia Lovers:  Zoysia makes a great summer season growing, green, weed free & drought tolerant grass.  It has a pleasant golden brown (dormant) color in winter months.  It's spreading ability makes it replace weeds and other grasses, and over time cover your lawn solid.  It's slow growing speed results in less mowing (10-14 days mowing frequency).   Since it is a perennial grass, once planted you will generally never have to seed or plant again!  These characteristics are what customers like about it.

On the Hate side: There are two factors that are disliked.  One is its spreading / invasive nature.  It tends to spread into flower beds AND into adjoining neighbors lawns.  This is difficult to control or stop, thus some people hate it because of this nature.  The other reason is simply that some don't like the brown winter color.  -- Bottom line is most love it... but if these two factors above are concern for you then you might want to consider other grasses.

SEED USE NOTICE:  Please note that we ONLY recommend Zoysia seeds for use in bare soil areas.  Planting seeds into existing grasses has a HIGH  FAILURE rate.  If planting into an existing lawn (grass and/or weeds) we recommend that you consider using Zoysia plugs instead of seeds.  - Zoysia seeds also are difficult to achieve germination in low light / shady areas.  Use plugs in these areas for best results.

With the first really cold weather it will go dormant turning golden brown. Generally it is not recommended that Zoysia be overseeded with ryegrass.  Zoysia is one of the first  warm season grasses to recover in the spring. For many years Zoysiagrass could only be grown by vegetative propagation but the newer varieties can now be planted from seed.   Zoysia can be grown as far north as New Jersey along coastal areas, New York and Maryland and as Far West as California.  Zoysia can be found growing in many soils from acidic to alkaline.

Zoysia establishes a dense thick turf that crowds out weeds after several mowings.

Zoysia grass is wear tolerant and can be used on golf courses, athletic fields (baseball and softball), lawns and parks. It forms a dense sod but is slow to repair so it is normally not used on high traffic football or soccer fields

In the south Zoysia has good shade tolerance while in the cooler areas it needs more sun. Zoysia is a highly desirable grass for the coastal areas with an increased tolerance for salt spray similar to St. Augustine.

A weed and grass free seed bed should be established in the beginning.  Later, after Zoysia  has established the aggressive dense growth will crowd out weeds and other grasses. Varieties have different textures ranging from coarse to fine.  Newer varieties can now be planted from seed, which in the past were only propagated through sod, sprigs and plugs. The slow growing aspect makes Zoysia a lower maintenance  lawn. Zoysias fall under three species categories with varieties developed from each.  Lawns planted with sprigs or plugs may take up to two years to fully develop into the thick density that a Zoysia lawn is capable of producing. Zoysia seeded lawns will be quicker to establish than sprigs or plugs and under ideal conditions can be established in five months.

The species brought from Manila is commonly called Manila Zoysiagrass. The japonica species originated in China. Tenuifolia was introduced from the Far East.  Zoysias forms a dense sod and depending upon the variety produces a fine to medium textured blades and the grass is fairly resistant to weeds, disease, drought and insects.

Zenith Zoysiagrass

Zenith is used on soccer, baseball and softball fields as well as on golf courses in mild to hot climates around the world. Zenith offers the unique advantage of being the first improved zoysia hybrid - available as seed. Seeding Zenith is less costly and faster than many turfing options.

SEEDED BERMUDAS:
Zenith and Compadre are the newest of the improved seeded varieties available.

Spreading by stolons and rhizomes, the growth pattern of the leaves makes it suited for higher traffic locations but  sometimes uncomfortable for bare feet . Zoysia withstands heavy usage after full establishment. High density sodding makes Zoysia well suited for use on baseball fields, golf course fairways,  and lawns during summer growth months. Zoysia grass can form  thatch but doesn't attract as much disease and insect damage  as some of the other warm season grasses. Removal of cuttings with each mowing  should reduce thatch problems. Zoysia  has good drought resistance once established and the salt tolerance to grow exceedingly well along warmer coastal communities.
