SEEDING OR PLUGGING
ZOYSIA LAWNS?

Which should I do (plugs / seed) is often a question asked about Zoysia.  Many are surprised to learn that seeds are even available.  While it is relatively new, seeds have been available for years and the newer improved varieties have been on the market for about 5 years.  In that time thousands of lawns have been successfully established from seeds.

So when should you use seed vs plugs?

USE SEEDS - BARE SOIL AREAS ONLY:
If you want a faster, usually easier and economical method of establishment of a Japonica variety of Zoysia.  Seeded lawns can be fully established in two years --- Seeds should only be used in areas where you will have bare soil and can prepare a proper seedbed.  You will also need the capability of watering the seeded areas for the first 3-4 weeks multiple times.

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.

USE PLUGS - EXISTING LAWNS or bare soils:
If you do NOT wish to remove your existing lawn, or are NOT starting a new lawn from bare soil conditions.  Zoysia Lawn Plugs do take longer (2-4 years on average) to establish fully.  They can also be planted in existing lawns allowing for the eventual establishment over a period of years.  Plugs are also recommended for use in areas of higher shade conditions.  Seeds can be more difficult to achieve good germination in shade areas as the Zoysia seeds are VERY light sensitive and need a certain amount of sun light in order to germinate.  Plugs planted into existing grasses can take much longer to cover... even as long as a decade (10 years) in some cases.


Some plugged lawns can take up to 3-4 years (and more) to fully establish.
Seeded lawns can be established in one growing season if properly planted.
