Want a grass that can reduce the time you have to spend on a lawn care regimen? Do you want to reduce your watering costs? Zoysia offers both the benefits as well as reducing insect infestations, eliminating pesky weeds like crabgrass and best of all you can start small. Softer, Greener Lawns - Zoysia grass offers a nice look, adds great value to your home and property, but best of all is an environmentally foot pleasing carpet. Zoysia grass is actually a native grass to China, but does extremely well in the southern United States. It's only real drawback is that it goes dormant during the winter months. Natural Weed Control - Zoysia grass produces one of the thickest turfs. That means that it will choke out nearly any weed seed that finds its way into your lawn. Not only does Zoysia grass produce a nearly carpet exterior, but the root system is just as vast. It literally provides no room for the most pesky of weeds a single centimeter to grow. Zoysia has a vast network of stolons and rhizomes that intertwine themselves, chocking out the competition. Reduce Mowing - You would think with such a thick grass you would have to mow it all the time. The total opposite is true with Zoysia grass. Zoysia grass will reduce the amount of mowing by half. On the flipside your mower blade will need to be sharpened more often since Zoysia is so thick, but you get to set the mowing height 30% higher than most other grasses. Zoysia Varieties - There are several different Zoysia varieties to chose from. Meyer Zoysia is a strong grower but sun and shade tolerant with extremely low water needs. Japonica Zoysia is another often found grass seed which is common to Japan and Korea. Other common varieties include Matrella and Emerald Zoysia. What more can you ask from a grass? There are so many different benefits of zoysia its hard to not want to switch right now. The best way to get a full Zoysia lawn is to sod. However sodding your lawn is extremely expensive. The alternative is plugging Zoysia into your existing lawn and letting it take over. This is a very effective way of getting that lawn you've always wanted.
