You can plug it but it will take a while to fill in. Zoysia doesn't spread like bermuda. If you sodded it is going to be closer to $16k and that is if you do it yourself. If I wanted grass on the whole acre I'd seed or hydroseed bermuda.



Is there any good resource for how to seed zoysia? I'd be curious about yard preparation and timing for our area. (Prairieville) When I was getting the yard regarded, I had a few quotes on hydroseed. They both wanted to do bermuda and the cost was nearly the same as the uninstalled sod cost. I wasn't impressed with the idea for that cost.

The only zoysia seed I've seen for sale on a regular basis is Zenith and I don't know of anyone that has gotten a full lawn from bare dirt.

Unless there is a big difference in prices between Louisiana and Texas hydroseeding should be a lot cheaper. I got a 4,000 sq ft lawn hydroseeded for a customer of mine for $700. Sod would have been more than double.

When I was trying to decide on seeding or hydro seeding, the quote I got was $0.11/sqft. The people I got the quote from were late replying or I would have done it. I wish I would have hydro seeded because it would have been much easier. I ended up wasting a bunch of seed by my lawn looks great now. I went with princess 77 Bermuda. It requires more maintenance but looks and feels great. I wanted a good turf for my boys to run around on in the backyard.
