Zoysia is unbelievable! We had a property where we neglected the grass for 10 years. Part of the lawn was Zoysia & the other Bermuda. 10 years of no pesticides, fertilizers, or watering...not ONCE. The Bermuda area basically is now all weeds. The Zoysia is thick, lush & beautiful. It is completely drought & weed resistant. It may be more expensive to put down initially but you will NEVER need weed killer or pesticides again. Some people don't like the fact that it turns yellow in the winter time (at least it does in the North East). I would never use another grass again. Per this video I think we have the Zoysia Z52.

I've got some leveling and drainage to deal with but overseeding with zoysia in those bare areas seems like the next step and should blend well enough.

@nolandenton1224 4 года назад

Great video - thanks.... I'm in the Huntsville, AL area - I can't seem to beat Creeping Charlie no matter what kind of grass I have. Made the mistake mentioned about wrong grass in wrong application - Bermuda in a shaded back yard and fescue in a sunny front yard. The first season the fescue was beautiful - second season I had creeping charlie and a drought - I used an Ortho product that nearly killed the fescue and didn't put a dent in the creeping charlie. Unfortunately sodded the back very late in the 2019 season and nearly dormant Bermuda was all the nursery could provide -- looked good in March but has struggled all summer. Not to worry, though - I signed a contract with TruGreen in April and they have pretty much destroyed it all so I get to try plugs next year....

@Mote78 4 года назад

Nolan Denton Creeping Charlie is just too invasive to fight back in a large yard with lots of shade and my preference not to use a lot of chemicals. I let it go as a ground cover in some areas. I have many fruiting vines and trees so I’d rather not drown my yard with poisons just to have a weed free lawn.

@trustHimforlife 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I live in Pennsylvania. I am almost positive I have zoysia grass. I always said it's as thick as a carpet. No weeds. Kind of scratchy to sit on. Turns brown in the winter..Spreads by rhizomes. So a couple months ago we had renovations done where the company drove bulldozers and diggers on my lawn. With the promise of reseeding and top dressing, I was OK with it... Well, let me tell you, I didn't think for one second that the grass was going to be completely different from my existing beautiful lawn. I believed he used a blend of bluegrass, rye and whatever else cold weather grass is.. Oh and crabgrass! I never had so much in my life. The lawn looks pretty spotty with loads of weeds. It's also a different color. You can see a clear line where the old grass is. I'm not too happy about it. I've been researching how to fix it. Your video was the first I saw that described what I believe is what we have. Being that I'm in the cold climate can I still overseed with zoysia? How will that look? I need your HELP !!

@Therampage27 4 года назад

I am in NJ so i have a similar climate to you. Zoysia is not available in seed for us. You will have to get zoysia plugs or sod to fill in bare spots, but this is fairly expensive and zoysia does not spread quickly. Alternatively you can apply pre-emergents before summer to stop crabgrass and just let the bluegrass do it's thing.

@trustHimforlife 4 года назад

@@Therampage27 thank you for your reply . I talked to a landscaper and he suggested thatching the zoysia and spreading the rye blend. I guess I'm not getting my beautiful zoysia back. :(... I will treat the crabgrass in the early spring. Thanks!

I absolutely love centipede...lowest cost to maintain of all the varieties mentioned. Mowed at 2", very showy appearance and great feel under foot. If fertilized with a bit of extra iron, can be a darker Kelly green instead of its' native light green color with proper irrigation.

@TheDesertRat31 5 лет назад

I like centipede as well. I also cut it around 2", maybe slightly higher since I don't think my deck is set perfectly. I'm in NC. The ag extensions recommend 1.5" cut height but when I've tried that it never looks it's best. Seems like it's stressed. Around 2" and it seems to like that better. Also. I don't have irrigation so those low cuts are rough in mid to late summer temps.

@t.a.follett3224 Год назад

My once beautiful centipede lawn is suffering. Lots of weeds, clover, and tree saplings popping up. How or can I revive my lawn? We sodded it 30 yrs ago, one square at a time. I'm no longer physically able to do that now. I have some spots where I need to both prune and remove some trees to get more sunlight.

@CarlVandenberg 6 лет назад

I live in NC and I'm sick of my fescue looking like crap in the dog days of summer and in the dead of winter. I have it treated for weeds and fertilized through TruGreen (about to fire them) and by August the weeds still tend to take over. Then I go through the cost of aerating and re-seeding in fall, but it usually doesn't look very nice in Jan & Feb, especially if we have a cold winter. I haven't gone with a warm season grass in the past due to it going dormant for 4-5 months out of the year, but if my fescue is going to look like crap for 4 months out of the year a warm season grass might be more economical. And there is the option to overseed if you don't mind mowing year round (it's a fairly small yard). Anyone out there have good success with a warm season grass as a replacement for fescue in central NC?

i live in new england so its almost exclusively cool season grass. because of this during the summer growth just about comes to a complete stop. i was thinking about suggesting to the customers that we blend buffalo grass with kentucky bluegrass and st augustine with everything else. i imagine this will allow for continuous growth throughout the year so we dont have to switch to bi weekly or worse once a month mowing schedules during the summer which definitely hurts income. what do you think about this idea?

@wansolve2036 5 лет назад

What's the best method to break up hard picked soil over time? My soil has a lot of clay and gets hard packed. I usually have it aerated then apply Sand or Sandy Loam in a thin layer on top, which my St Augustine loves. But then by the following year it's all packed again. My neighbor says to spread Gypsum on top and that would help break down the hard packed clay. Any thoughts? Great video, thanks!

I would love Zoysia, but the price, whew. I may try a small spot by our pool/patio area. Hoping it might spread. Other than that thinking Centipede. How is Centipede around flower beds though? Plus if it's not better at dominating weeds the expense of Zoysia might pay for itself. Sorry, but with a dog in the yard every day and my long work I need something fairly low use of weed killers, etc.
