Key to a happy zoysia lawn is the soil preparation, content, and proper watering. Love my Jamur variety.

You are fairly closeby. Wish I'd have known about your 'process' 5 yrs ago. I had front and back yard done in Zoysia Palisades installed and, lets just say the install process wasn't what I was expecting. But dispite a less than good job installing, the first spring/summer it was beginning to take root and by the next spring it was *by far* the prettiest lawn I'd ever seen. It has been that way for the last 4 years. Last summers heat (Dallas extremes) started taking a toll on it. Then several areas (around 1 1/2 pallets) were needed to 'fix' the dead spots. Then this past winter (2023) is was clear something happened, and it looked horrible. Dead thatch everywhere. Now (mid-may 2024) it's trying to make a come-back. Most of the front yard is tyring and starting to fill in with maybe 200-300 sq feet in scattered areas still is just thatch. The back yard is pretty bad. Anyway, those thinking of Zoysia, it is very pretty and thick. The root structure is strong (just under the surface) and I have to go around the sprinkler heads with a garden tool and push down and cut some of the root structure away because the sprinkler heads wont pop up or retract. And, *by the way,* you've got one of the best videos I've seen explaning what to expect. Well Done *A+++*

Awesome feedback and insight with Zoysia. Thanks. While Zoysia is a very strong turf for North Texas, it can get freeze damage, drought dame, pest, and fungus problems. There is no hands free lawn out there but there is less that will happen to Zoysia as compared to other varieties such as Saint Augustine grass.

Love watching these Zoysia installs. When we built our house in DFW in 1999, we installed El Toro Zoysia. It was hard to find and twice the cost of standard Bermuda or SA, but I'm glad we did, as it's been a great lawn for our family and dogs. As our trees have matured, I have a couple of areas that only get filtered sunlight and the grass is very thin. Which of the Zoysia types that you've mentioned would be best to try in these areas? And is El Toro still available? I also have SA taking over a part of my backyard, so would the Quinchlorac be safe to use on my El Toro? Thanks!

As an iragation contractor the sprinkler heads you we’re talking about are bad when they get bumped or knocked of the side it changes the pattern plus the use more gpm so they can do a 360 staying with a fixed nozzle pattern is the best way to go as I saw that sidewalk covered in over spray the nozzle for that should be an sst 15 or sst 17 there designed to spray sideways 3 to 4 ft wide for narrow areas. Yes your a landscaper looks like you do good work but on the lawn sprinklers just like your sod there’s a proper spray pattern and sprinkler head there’s a lot that goes into designing layout of a system not to just throw in a nozzle or sprinkler head that does all it wrong I’m proper coverage and wasting water

I Couldn't agree more. We do many things great and some things good. In this case there is a better nozzle for parkways like you say. 15SST nozzles throw 15 ft left and right and just 3-4 ft in front of the nozzle which is ideal when spraying the parkway lawns by the street. This avoids dumping water out onto the sidewalk or the street. We do love the versatility of the 360 nozzles and their use is great for most areas of a lawn. They are easy to adjust and very easy for a homeowner to achieve adequate coverage for their new lawn. When you are fine tuning a sprinkler system and your goal is not only covering the area but also the conservation of water then I agree it should be dialed in with fixed nozzles.

Color depends a lot on how you are feeding it. In the fine blade I love Zorro and Zeon. Palisades and Jamur Zoysia in the medium bladed zoysias look awesome too. Emerald is a lighter shade of green so most people go Zeon or Zorro or even Cavalier if they like the darker green.

I like the look of Zeon and the fine blade but will be mowing it with a rotary and my wife also doesn't want the lawn mowed too short. I have a dog and wondered which of the 2 varieties would be better for wear and urine spots with a dog. And are they both soft grasses to walk on?? Any advice for me??

That is all going to depend on scarcity in your region. If the farms are growing more of one thing and having success then it will be plentiful and cheap than other varieties. In Texas Saint Augustine is about $50 cheaper by the pallet.
