Okay, I assume that I'm not the only guy in America that gets the AMAZOY Zoysia Grass advertisement. I actually may consider buying some of the plugs if I can get someone to actually say they are as good as advertised. Have any of you lawn manicurists used any of this? The ad says it grows in nearly any soil, chokes out crabgrass, resists wear and heat, ends reseeding and works on slopes. I have a fairly new build/lawn and have a few large sloped areas that I've considered other things, but if I could get this Zoysia to work, I'd consider it.

Isnt this pretty expensive? I have a two acre yard, what would the cost be?:scared:

Biggest downside IMO is that, like bermuda, you have a completely brown lawn after the first frost.

Actually, I wouldn't mind the brown part as long as a root system formed and cover the sloped barespots. I understand that it is supposed to be fairly aggressive and spread which I also don't mind, especially if the "mowing less" part of the ad is correct.

Plus, it doesn't grow quickly, in height. Very durable, for eroding slopes and yards.

 

Also, a good sports surface.

Most of the fairways that you golf on are going to be either that Zoysia or Bermuda, mostly Zoysia though. I prefer the Zoysia.

A guy I work with has it in his lawn and said he can get by with only mowing every couple of weeks in the summer and then he does so more because of the thickness of it. He said it really holds up to wear and is pretty much as advertised. I wouldn't mind the brown lawn as long as it were uniformly so, meaning without splotches of green from other grasses.

I checked on the plugs and to do 1 acre would cost $14,000. I'm thinking artificial turf for that price.

Our next door neighbor has it, and the brown lawn most of the year is really ugly. Even now, her yard is only half-way green with patches of other grass types.

 

I understand it's very hard to mow because of it's thickness.

 

Also, you better have very understanding neighbors. The stuff spreads like wildfire!

I am thinking that if it spreads like they say, I won't need nearly that amout to start what I need. And wouldn't it be more efficient to do sod for an acre?

I have no neighbors, I live on top of a small mountain with 8 acres, it might choke a few rabbits along the way!

I have it in my back yard. It’s still not green and I don’t like it because of that.

 

It is great in the summer though – very resistant to heat and drought. Its good for hard to grow areas IMO.

Do they offer sod? The only two ways I seen was plug or seed and they said to use the seed your ground had to be bare.

Depends on how patient you are. Obviously the more you plug the faster it fills in but if you're willing to wait you can get by with just a few plugs. As BF said, it spreads like crazy.

But the light brown color makes it much easier to pick up the dog doo...:thumb:
