Zoysia

Description

Summit Hall Turf Farm is the pioneer producer of Meyer (Z-52) Zoysia, and has been selling it since 1951. No other improved turfgrass variety has endured such longevity. This stands to reason since the attributes and characteristics of Meyer Zoysia are more important today than 60 years ago. Increased pressure from public and private environmental concerns have caused some to re-evaluate their lawn care programs with respect to the use of pesticides, fertilizers and water. Of the major turfgrass varieties recommended for our area Meyer Zoysia will require the least amount of those ingredients. Coupled with the reduced mowing, due to Zoysia’s slow growth rate, and Meyer Zoysia’s exceptional density, one begins to understand why it is one of the best all around lawn grasses yet developed.

Meyer (Z-52) Zoysia can be transplanted as sod or plugs. While Summit Hall no longer sells plugs directly, you can still cut the sod into plugs, or create your own plugging garden by sodding a small area, and use a Summit Hall plugging tool to create your own 2 inch diameter deep cut plugs after the sodded area is established. Either way provides an economical way for you to start your Zoysia Grass. If immediate solid coverage is necessary, then sodding is required. Zoysia sod takes more time to grow, therefore, you will pay more for it than other types of sod. However, once that Zoysia is established on site, it will immediately begin to pay dividends in reduced maintenance, making it the least expensive grass in the long run.
