It’s not much but it’s honest work…. 6 flats of plugs in two growing seasons and it just took off. Couldn’t be happier.

Plug spacing you used?

I used 6” ish. It’s 100% your preference…. The tighter they are, the faster it fills in BUT it’s more costly. I have a small yard so I did about 6” in the dead spots where my zoysia was struggling and the Bermuda took over. If I was doing an entire yard, I’d probably do 12” and just deal with the fill in rate. If you give it water and N2, it will move.

I started mine from about 100 plugs and 4 years later it is most of my back yard. It spreads 2 to 3 ft per year. I love it.

I feel like last summer, post the great freeze, it didn’t move much and started off weak. This year though, it showed up in full force.

When do you plant plugs for this type of grass?

I’ve been planting mine May-ish, but I’m sure all summer, early fall and after the last freeze is all do-able

did you nuke your lawn before doing this, or do you just plant it and it will push out other grass? currently have centipede

I didn’t nuke mine…. It just took over. That’s said, the zoysia did come back under my trees and a few other small spots but I’m not that anal about it. If I had a pile of centipede, I’d probably nuke it. It really depends on how much you want to spend. I know folks who nuked the front one year, then nuked the back the next year.
