Is Zoysia usually slow to green this time of year?

Seeing several yards like that. Thick but light green.
Thinking about replacing front yard with Zoysia
How often to fertilize it?

I resodded mine a few years back and it does take a while to get deep green. At the end of the summer, I have more grass clippings than I know what to do with even when I cut it once a week. Only fertilize three times a year.

It seems to get quite thatchy. Could that be why?

No it’s slow. I go through this every year and I forget. Usually mid May before it starts looking good.

Zoysia is like your wife. She’s thick but will do what she wants to do when she wants to do it. Not a damn thing you can do to change her mind.

I'm right there with you. Mine has been SLOWLY getting greener but this week, the warm temps and humidity have really kicked it into overdrive. I fertilized 2 weeks ago. Probably dethatch in the next couple of weeks. Then have it aerated and top-dressed in late May.

This morning was the first time I thought that my Zoysia finally needed to be cut. It's a slow waker.

Depending on the variety, it will go dormant earlier in the fall and break dormancy later in the spring in general. This makes it much less likely to have problems with winterkill if you’re in the upper South.
