Bermuda Grass vs Zoysia: UP CLOSE & In The WRONG Climate

Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass are two common warm season grass types that are very tolerant of hot weather and drought. Both have deep root systems and spread horizontally by both rhizomes and stolons but despite these similarities these two grass types are very different.
I live in solidly cool season grass territory. It's probably safe to say that these two grass pots are the only Zoysia or Bermuda grasses growing within a couple hundred miles of me due to our colder climate.
Warm season grasses aren't always grown from seed either but even still I managed to grow these grasses just for the purpose of learning, experimenting, and teaching.
I hope you appreciate the effort and I hope you learn something in this video.
For those that are curious the seeds I bought were picked up on Amazon. I bought based on package size; I wanted to buy the smallest packages possible and I ended up with Arden 15 Hybrid Bermuda and Empire Zoysia.
Both pots were planted in the best potting soil I know of, Happy Frog. Affiliate links to both seeds varieties and the potting mix can be found below:

If you are considering putting Zoysia into your lawn and you live in the transition zone then take an extra minute to consider the benefits of going with Turf Type Tall Fescue. You can see my full TTTF care guide here: • Turf Type Tall Fescue ...

Don't let that bermuda enter your lawn. It will take over and you will never be able to get rid of it.

We have Zoysia Zeon. The variety is not grown from seed thus, you can not reseed this variety. Zeon has a very narrow blade unlike the Zoysia the narrator is demonstrating. Zeon has a blade more like a pine needle but is wonderfully soft. The blades do stand. In my opinion it is the “bees knees”. 8 weeks ago,19th November, My wife and I scalped it to the ground then covered it with .5 inch Sydney washed sand. Today, the lawns have recovered 65-70%. That part of the lawn, nearest the house is lagging behind at about 40%. I have cut it at 1.5 inches. My goal is 0.75 inch.

That's not Zoysia. Probably centipede, but I don't have centipede here to check that. The seller sent you the wrong seeds. definitely not Zoysia. You can even see in the video the vernation is folded..

Really when it comes to foot traffic, resistance to fungal diseases, growth rate and self-healing properties, no other grass (warm- and cool-season) comes as nearly close to most varieties of Bermudagrass. But truth be told Bermuda does so in a relatively short period of the year (on average 4 months or so) from the northern edge of USDA's zone 8 to colder places in the transition zone.

I have 22,000 ft of Bermuda that I sprigged, plugged over the last 4 years and now I just not liking it anymore. You got me motivated to do zoysia now. Great video and comparison!

We have what they told us is Empire Zoysia and it looks different than that. So now it makes me wonder what we actually have. What we have has runners and it constantly puts off seed heads, also doesn’t thatch or feel plush. We hate it. May have the entire yard responded with zoysia zenith.

I don't like the texture of Bermuda grass.

@MarlonJoseGE 2 года назад

That Zoysia grass is beautiful.

@richardportelli1983 Год назад

100% that is not zoysia, true zoysia will go dormant faster than a hybrid bermuda.

@aquienpuedainteresar4188 2 года назад

Very detailed guide to both of this grasses. I always thought that if I move back to South, i would go with bermuda but that zoysia is looking really tempting.

@VillarrealVlogs 2 года назад

I have a patch of Zoysia in my front yard in Michigan. It was there when I moved in. Mostly yellow in the spring time coming out of winter but once summer hits, it does great and outshines the rest of the yard by being so heat and drought tolerant.

@ogsan1296

Great video, Sir I wanted to inquire what blade on a rotory mower would you recommend on Zoysia and HOC ?

@jimshorts5970 2 года назад

Out of my 45 mowing accounts back in OK I only had one Zoysia yard. Was SO nice to walk on and looked really good when mowed. Us poor guys all had Bermuda:) Probably scalped and bagged it a thousand times. You’d end up with 15 or 20 bags to haul off sometimes and the dust coming off of it would be in every hole in your head:)

I like the “dark green Matt” grass.🙂

@michaelbacile8439 2 года назад

Aw man.. you said you planted that “empire zoysia” by seed. I got so happy. I’ve been trying to find empire seed for years. As far as I know they only sell plugs and sod. Your Amazon link is for Emerald zoysia, not empire. If anyone knows where to find EMPIRE seed please let me know!

@hienvu1714 2 года назад

Which type of Zoysia is this? I bought two 8.5lb bags of Pennington Smart Seeds Bermuda for my Southern CA (zone 9b) with ongoing drought but changed my mind and I'm looking for a different warm-season grass and I'm seriously considering Zoysia. Any advice?

What are you thoughts on the RTF fescues? Granted they're slow but for us Northern lawn people MN here they seem to be a good alternative to clumping grasses.
