The Crown Jewel of Lawn Grass

Our home lawns are an integral part of our lives.  It is the place where we lounge, play games, and have cookouts.  A beautiful lawn is an asset to any home.  One of the biggest decisions you will make regarding your lawn is what type of turfgrass to install and what type of lawn are you expecting or desiring.  Do you want a “Lawn of the Month”, or an average lawn or just ground cover to avoid erosion and provide soil stability around your home?

A favorite in Alabama is the Emerald Zoysia.  Emerald Zoysia is one of the most beautiful grasses. It has been referred to as the “Crown Jewel of Lawn Grass” and the “Cadillac of Lawn Grasses”.  It is a hybrid between Zoysia tenuifolia and Zoysia japonica.  It is a lovely emerald green color and has a fine leaf texture. It’s dense lush and thick sod crowds out weeds and other grasses. Emerald Zoysia is popular for its carpet like appearance that comes from the very fine texture and high density. Emerald Zoysia is ideal for lawns where the outstanding appearance is worth the premium it may cost.  Emerald Zoysia is a favorite choice for small turf islands in retail or commercial properties as well as surrounding patios and pool decks for the residential homeowner.

Emerald Zoysia has excellent heat tolerance as well as drought tolerance. It may brown in triple digit heat but with adequate hydration it can restore its vibrant green color quickly. It grows well in a wide variety of soils and does well with shade.  Emerald Zoysia does require a dedicated maintenance program and is recommended for high-quality lawns where time and money can be allocated to the maintenance.  Emerald Zoysia requires less frequent mowing than most turfs.  A 7 to 10 day interval is a great guideline for this type of turf. 

Emerald Zoysia is a very cold hardy and warm season turf grass that stays green longer into the fall than other varieties.  Visit Sunbelt Farms for Emerald Zoysia, it is the perfect choice for making a fabulous first impression of your lawn!
