A dense, cushiony lawn that feels like carpet, handles heat and some shade and chokes out many weeds.
Zoysia grows into a thick, carpet-like lawn that is as comfortable on bare feet as it is beautiful. It is a warm-season grass that spreads slowly by runners, forms a very dense turf that crowds out many weeds and tolerates heat, drought and some shade better than Bermuda. For owners who want a premium-looking lawn with less mowing frequency, zoysia is a favorite.
Because it spreads slowly, zoysia is almost always planted as sod, which gives you the finished lawn right away instead of years of waiting. We prepare the soil carefully, because zoysia is picky about drainage and compaction, and we lay the sod tight with staggered seams. Like Bermuda, it goes tan in winter, so we talk through that honestly. We also explain mowing, which differs from fescue, and the care calendar that keeps zoysia thick and green through the growing season.
Zoysia forms a dense, cushiony surface that feels great underfoot and chokes out many weeds.
It handles hot summers and light to moderate shade better than Bermuda, though full sun is still best.
It fills in gradually, which is why sod is the practical way to start. Plugs and seed take years.
Zoysia turns tan when dormant and returns in spring. A good fit for owners who accept the seasonal cycle.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, a new lawn, a fix for a worn one or a turf area, and we set a visit that fits your day.

We explain your options for sod, turf or both, and give you a written scope with quantities, timing and clear pricing.
We mark utilities, remove old turf, set the grade, loosen and improve the soil and build the base before anything new goes down.
We lay sod in tight, staggered rows or install turf over a compacted stone base, with clean edges and tight seams.
We clean up, roll or brush the surface, walk you through the watering and care plan and set a reminder for your next check.
Many owners say yes. It is dense, handles heat and wear and needs less mowing than some grasses, though sod costs more up front.
Less than fescue once established. It handles dry stretches well, with deep watering during extreme heat.
It tolerates light to moderate shade, though dense shade will thin any turf grass.
Slowly. That is why sod is the best way to get a full lawn quickly.
