Empire. Just because I envy someone who has a well maintained Zoysia lawn.

 

Then take a look at how my lawn looked last year lol

 

Is that area fairly shady, or does it just look that way in the photo? If you have shade, you may want to stay away from Empire and Bermuda and go something like Emerald zoysia.

:lol: :lol:

 

I'm hoping to replace my St Augustine next year with Zorro Zoysia. The research I did it performed best in the shade over any other Zoysia grass. Modern Turf grows it in Orangeburg, SC I believe. It's $239 per pallet, each pallet cover 450 sq/ft.

Here's a pic of Zorro from online:

It's briefly shaded, but most of the day it's full sun.

I'll check it out - thanks. This area is full sun most of the day.

 

I'd also consider Celebration Bermuda.

 

Here is a pic I took last year at Super SOD.

Out of all the plots we saw...TifTuf was my favorite!

 

Emerald Zoysia.

 

I'm really leaning towards TifTuf just because I know Bermuda will take urine better than Zoysia.

 

they'll both show dog (even midget ones) piss
i've never seen tiftuff like that above in person

 

Well what's the verdict?

Emerald on our Smyrna city govt property, super soft and visually superior.... pretty sure the cultural practices are not over the top.

#thatchmonster boogy man


Note: the fringe of their property is Bermuda but around the HQ and water feature where this is, zoysia

 

There is also Tifgrand, Lat 36, and Tahoma 31 if you want to add to the cultivar options.

That's why I'm hoping to put Bermuda around my back deck. I wish I had dogs to blame it on.

Ha!! Classic! Guilty as charged myself. Now that they finished the house next door guess I'll have to get off the porch to go now.

I have Empire and have never seen pet urine burn. Small or Large dog. We have a small dog that pisses on it all the time. An there's a yellow lab that a neighbor lets run free that does occasionally
