Important to Remember...
Zoysia
sod is slow growing when planted in the shade. If your
lawn is mostly shaded, regardeless of what part of the country
you live in, it would be wise to look at other options other
than Zoysia. Shaded lawn patches
simply will not grow green.
Zoysia sod has fine leaf blades compared to the thick blades of St. Augustine sod. It is a lush dark green grass that forms a dense cover over the area it is planted in. Zoysia sod naturally resists weeds due to its thick pattern in which it grows. If grown properly, it creates a dense lawn that makes it almost impossible for weeds to invade. If you should see a weed emerging from the lawn, it can easily be identified and removed due to Zoysias low growing height. Zoysia will thrive in the summer heat as well as not being bothered by freezing temperatures. In most cases, it is a great choice for many lawns in Northeast Florida.
When We Install Zoysia...
We use Zoysia Sod, not plugs. This means your entire lawn will be green after installation vs. having your lawn poka-dotted with plugs. The easiest and most effective way in the long run to grow a Zoysia grass lawn is by installing Zoysia sod. If you were to install plugs, it would take about a year for the sprigs or plugs to cover the specified area which would result in a never-ending battle trying to control weeds inbetween the plugs.

Zenith grass is a new type of Zoysia seed which grows dense and lush. There are different types of Zoysia sod and seed available, however, Zenith is the best grass that can be grown from seed in our opinion. Using Zenith Zoysia seed makes re-establishing dead patches on your lawn easier than ever.
Zenith sod is readily available throughout most of the year. Zenith Sod tends to grow fairly slow compared to St. Augustine sod however you may only need to mow your Zenith sod lawn once every two weeks due to the pace at which it grows.
Zenith sod looks similar to Meyer Zoysia grass and Centipede grass although it still retains its own unique appearance. One of the main distinguishing factors is that the blades of Zenith grass are not as thin as Emerald Zoysia grass.
