Zoysia-grass lawns are growing in popularity and acclaim across Central Texas. It is a low maintenance lawn compared to the widespread St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses, and is valued for its tolerance to low light conditions (shade), eco-friendliness (low watering requirements), and its ability to quickly recover from normal wear and tear (pets, kids, etc.).
Here is a quote from one of our satisfied customers:
“If you have dogs or active children, they won’t wear bare spots in it. It chokes out weeds. Less herbicide needed. Less fertilizer needed. Better for the environment. If you mow it very short in early spring, it greens up faster. We use the cuttings to mulch our garden. We think of the golden brown dormant color as the color of money saved on water, herbicide, fuel and mowing time.”
We've installed Zoysia Japonica (a.k.a. “Zoysia Palisades”) in Central Texas for many years with much success. Our customers love the feel of the grass and its maintenance requirements. We are recommending this varietal almost exclusively and would appreciate the opportunity to consult with you about your lawn and landscape needs.
