Zoysia
Zoysia grass offers strong drought and heat resistance, weed suppression, and durability for high-traffic use. Since it is a warmer season grass, it will go dormant faster than Bermudagrass.
Zoysia grass will choke out weeds due to its aggressive and dense growth habit. Its ability to spread rapidly via stolons and rhizomes allows it to outcompete many other plants, creating a thick, low-maintenance turf leaving little room for weeds to grow. For best results, maintain a healthy lawn with proper fertilization and mowing to ensure the Zoysia remains dense and vigorous.
Zoysia grass offers benefits like drought tolerance, low maintenance, and weed suppression due to its dense, deep-rooted growth. It is also resilient to many pests and diseases. Zoysia grass can tolerate foot traffic and has a soft, aesthetically pleasing feel. However, it does go dormant and turn brown in colder winter months.
