I like the format and chill mood. I have Zeon zoysia and am in south texas. Mine never goes dormant. Needs slightly less water, but it grows aggressive when it’s hot and has water. Grows a little slower. I used to fert 4lbs of N / M per year. Had lots of fungus. I went the John Perry route and do 2lb N / M per year. Grows the same, looks the same, 90% less fungus. Also had lots of common Bermuda. I did the fusillade II and Teflon combo experiment and successfully removed all Bermuda from my zoysia. Took two growing seasons and spraying every 28 days. But no more Bermuda. 100% mono. I got lots of pics and tips if you want. Keep it up.

I have a fine bladed zoysia and you have to apply fungicides all growing season. If you can keep it uniformly green with no fungus you are doing something. Neighbor across the street has crowne which is medium/thick bladed and all he does it mow it and hammer with fertilize and it stays perfect. I reel mow my thin blade zoysia to .50 and IF it's health,...it's the best looking turf hands down. I easily spend $300 or more on fungicides a year.

Also, both you and Matt have the "weedeater monster disease"... and that is when someone with a weed eater chews up your lawn thinking they are doing you a favor edging your lawn. The best piece of yard equipment I have now is my Stihl rotary trimmer and it makes edges of my lawn knife edge square. I run it vertically to make that "wall" of grass and then I run it over the top for a crew cut sharp edge. There is no weed eater with string that can do what a rotary edger does. It is a must for any lawn nut like yourself!

Thank you for the Zoysia episode. I'm in North Texas and my 20 year old St. Augustine started getting disease prone year to year. I pulled it out and resodded with Zoysia about 3 years ago. I love it, but am having some St. Augustine zombies popping through everywhere. I also didn't know the 2" recommendation for the first 2 years and have that thatchy, sticky mix at the soil line up to about 1". I'll be looking to your site for some guidance. It's green and "healthy", but it needs to dominate my bermuda & st. Augustine neighbors!

@ShoelessTX Жыл бұрын

@@lewf5685 I'm not sure. I watered consistently over the summer, but I just have a couple of spots that just stay dry in the summer and lighten in color or go brown. It may be my soil in those areas or it may be that my sprinklers just aren't hitting it well. At this point, I think it's starting to go dormant from stress, heat, and lack of rain. City water keeps it alive, but rain makes it thrive!

Empire zoysia is way less maintenance and uses less water than my Tifway 419 Bermuda. It doesn't scalp like bermuda so it's less likely to get away from you. You still have to mow at least twice a week though. It gets super dark with just PGR as well.

Have you thought of using PGR on the zoysia so you can keep it lower? Should also actually help it choke things out. During the rainy season will for sure be helpful and should last 2-3 week I would guess, instead of 3-4 weeks, but would definitely cut the mowing down to at least once a week maybe every 10 -12 days

We have zoysias grass up here in Michigan. It’s cooler longer up here so it gets yellow, or dormant, and stays that color for much longer. We do love it though. We just dethatched it for the first time in 20 years - so it sounds like we’ve been keeping it too high.

@davec3651 2 жыл бұрын

I put in Zeon Zoysia, beautiful fine blade upright growth pattern but definitely not as soft as I'd hoped. I have major problems maintaining the mow and quickly found it getting really thick and spongey (thatchy), definitely prevents weed growth. But this thatchy consistency is a pain, and I'm looking to switch to some type of softer Bermuda (maybe Tifgrand) in places. I'm guessing this ridiculously thick spongy growth of the zoysia is exacerbated by not having any dormant season here in Hawaii. Definitely not low maintenance that it was sold as.

@rey3472 2 жыл бұрын

Zeon Zoysia should not be fertilized very much nor should it be watered a lot. Height of cut on it should be about 0.75" It is a very thatchy and fast growing grass. It is only maintainable via PGR usage or very frequent mowing. I agree. Not low maintenance at all.

@davec3651 2 жыл бұрын

@@rey3472 Thanks for the additional insight. I got sold on it sight unseen and it definitely gets marketed as low maintenance. Well at least I got to experience and learn. It does look nice in some areas, but overall too inconsistent and problematic. One thing I can say is virtually zero weeds can penetrate this dense thatchy mat.

Very timely video as I am considering a resod with either the Empire Zoysia or Pro Vista St. Augustine. It appears the Empire is more labor intensive than advertised. I thought it was more drought tolerant than the Pro Vista, but if you want it to look good, it's basically the same amount of irrigation. I'm leaning toward the Pro Vista with the benefit of it being glyphosate tolerant and the more tight horizontal growth pattern.
