Re: [Gardening] Zoysia grass?

I love my Zoysia grass. Initially, I tried plugs but they just didn't work. Zoysia grows thick, but slow. I then purchased some sod from SuperSod out at the Farmer's Market about five years ago and installed it in my backyard. It took in the area that gets sunlight and I do nothing to maintain it other than mowing, but either shade or rain deprivation from the large elm tree overshadowing part of it has slowly diminished the grass on the shady half of the yard. However, I will likely resod and do a better job of fertilizing and watering it the next time around. Last summer, I hired Hicks Landscaping and they installed Zoysia in the front yard. It is growing well in most areas, but I noticed the strip along the street is getting bare where it gets direct afternoon sun. I'm at 1322 Mordecai if you want to take a look at how it's doing.
