I honestly don't know how could like the appearance of St Aug over Zoysia?


I think you misunderstood me. I actually agree with you 100%. That's why I said

In my opinion, no st aug can match zoysia at its peak appearance
What I essentially said, is that if you don't fertilize, water, dethatch, and overall spend a lot of time and expense on zoysia, you're better off with st aug. A st aug lawn without care will probably look better than a zoysia lawn with no care. Emerald zoysia like I have, would probably thatch itself out of existence if I let it.

Sorry I replied to your post but my reply wasn't to you specifically.

I have zenith zoysia and my neighbors have emerald, they literally touch along our border and I can't tell the difference. His lawn guy cuts his too short but uses a regular mower, not a reel mower. Mine looks much better because I cut it longer, but there's a bunch of people in my neighborhood with Zoysia and I haven't seen anyone use a reel mower. IMO its all about the length, if you cut it real short a reel mower would probably be much better. But it looks great a little long cut with a regular mower that you can bag. If you just want to mulch, yeah I'm not sure then.

I really think the number one issue most people have outside of a pest, is mowing too short.
