Zoysia Grass: Find Out How to Make Your Lawn as Soft as a Carpet
from: Robin J. DerryAs winter rolls back its frosty landscape, your plants and lawn wake-up to another season of challenges. What would you say to keeping your lawn greener ... reducing your watering costs ... reducing insect infestations and even naturally eliminating crab grass and other 'invader species' from your lawns? Zoysia grass plugs might be the perfect solution.
Zoysia Grass Seed: Creating Thicker Greener Softer Lawns. Modern, suburban and committed to the look, and value, of your home and property, you want simple cost-effective and environmentally balanced solutions for a foot-soft lawn. Here's where Zoysia grass seed delivers Big Bang values. Although originally a 'wild' native grass in China and the Orient, Zoysia Grass was always recognized as a 'fast responder' carpet grass ... and remarkably was selected over 5,000 years ago to be spread over the primitive earthen mound grave sites in order to product thick green cover of Nature protecting deceased loved ones.
Zoysia Lawn Grass 'Chokes' Weeds Into Submission. Every homeowner contests Darwin's nature each year, as 'alien' and unwanted weed species float over your lawn and attempt to 'colonize' any available space. Crab grass, thistle, wild grasses, dandelions, wild carrot ... you name it ... but none of these qualify in the book of gardening as ideal lawn grass.
* Creating 'Smart' Lawn Growth. So, how can Zoysia lawn grass partner with you to block Nature's attack? Answer? Zoysia lawn grass plugs 'naturally' invest growth, not in developing vertical height, rather convert mineral, fertilizer and sunlight into a dense network of below-ground rhizome or arterial root system, along with an above-ground deep thick network of interlacing runners or stolons. What does crabgrass get? Next to nothing ... no available space, so weeds travel to your neighbor's ground or anywhere else that opens up.
Green Thick Lawns Yet Reduced Mowing. You work all week, you pay the mortgage, and you want to kick-back, chill-out in your free time. Wouldn't it be nice if your lawn looked great, but didn't demand that you race behind your mower with every free moment! Again, here's where Zoysia lawn grass delivers on its promise. Zoysia lawn grass plugs do the 'heavy lifting' ... conserving resources, exploiting the sun, yet remarkably need to be cut less than half the time of other lawn seed varieties!
Yes, you'll still need a sharp lawn mower, but you can conserve water plus reduce your mowing time but setting the cut-height higher than you would with other grass seed varieties.
Important Zoysia Grass Varieties To Know About. Meyer Zoysia grass emerged out of botanical lab research in 1951, reflecting genetic 'tinkering' in order to amplify the strong growth, sun-and-shade tolerance and low water needs that homeowners demanded as the modern era of suburbia caught on with city councils and developers. Meyer Zoysia grass evolved with the prodding from USDA engineers from the source japonica zoysia grass seed, the Japanese lawn grass native to Japan and Korea, and a key commercially exploited variety within the over four varieties of zoysia grass. In addition to Meyer zoysia grass, homeowners can look into Matrella and Emerald zoysia grass varieties.
Shade, Temperature Zones And Choosing The Best Zoysia Lawn Grass Seed. Growing grass, like raising children, can be complicated stuff. You have to know what you're dealing with.
* Temperature Zones Match. In the case of zoysia grass plugs versus other traditional lawn grass seeds like tall fescue or Bermuda varieties, you want to first check your location or temperature zone for the right variety-to-location match. From hot climate Zone 1 (think Florida, Texas latitudes) to cooler climate Zone 3 (think Maryland, southern Indiana latitudes), you'll be able to select from zoysia lawn grass varieties including Meyer, Emerald, and Zenith.
* Shade Tolerance. Experts' bottom line read on zoysia grass seed is that it's a robust, highly shade tolerant grass that will thrive in either fully sun-exposed areas or variegated shade areas, from light (think pine) to heavy (think leafed deciduous).
