My advice for anyone wanting to sod
Posted on 6/21/21 at 9:45 pm

Use Zoysia, not St. Aug! My front yard is St Aug and I re-sodded my back yard with Zoysia last year. Wow what a difference!
Constantly fighting diseases, brown patches, bugs and weeds in the front yard. Zero issues with my Zoysia. It’s plush and deep green.
Just an FYI….

So I am almost full shade in my backyard? Zoysia it is....
I like the fun that St Aug brings though. So I kind of hate on zoysia. It is a decent grass though. Really wish I had room for all the equipment to do tifway 419. Or tifway TW just to flex on mofos

Your zoysia is just getting started. Everything you said you don’t like about st aug, zoysia can get.

About how long did it take your zoysia to fully green up? Sodded in the winter when I moved in. Zoysia seems to be seeding but only a handful of sports are getting thick and deep green. Most of the yard is still slowly coming along

My yard guy said to spray it all with round up then cut it super short. After that he said the said can be laid on top. Is this true?

Just did 5 pallets around my pool. Man that shot is expensive.
Is there a seed I can buy?

I really like my Palisade Zoysia sod as well. I wish I could get it in seed and do more of my yard with it.
If prepping for sod, I’d suggest at least two rounds of glyphosate about 2 weeks apart. Cut it as short as possible, and then try to rake up as much dead as possible. There’s debate on whether to till or not to till the soil prior to installation.

It took pretty good and got green after a few weeks, then this summer, it has really popped.
Posted on 6/22/21 at 9:22 am to Skippy1013
How much per pallet installed? Thanks.

I have Emerald Zoysia going on 4 years now. Have had yearly issues with rust fungus. Another issue, is wild bermuda will get into it in early spring and take over until about mid summer until the Zoysia can choke it out
Plus it really struggles with thatch unless you cut it 2 inches or less and always bag the clippings.
Even though it is supposed to be one of the more shade tolerant varieties. It is ultra slow growing in places that get only a few hours of sun, and thins considerably over the winter.

I forget. Is Zoysia or St Aug better in shade? My backyard St. Aug has some issue getting thick due to a big oak that shades it for most of the day.

My Zeon Zoysia needs 4 hours of sunlight. It looks like Ireland right now.

What was the price to have that done? I have a guy coming give me a price tomorrow to laydown some around the house, patio, sidewalks and driveway 3-4ft wide to keep my dirt from washing out. Then I may get the rest of the yard hydro seeded. I was hoping to do Empire Zoysia but I was told on here empire doesn't come in seed. So I would have to have everything sodded or plugged and I don't think I want to pay to have an acre sodded.

Following. I have a couple hundred square feet to cover and a seed would be better for me, i don't mind it growing slow

I got a quote of $275/pallet for centipede and $325 for St. Aug. I am still waiting on a zoysia number.

Yikes! I paid $270 for a pallet like two weeks ago in BR.

I don't think that's a bad price for St. Aug. I was quoted $250/pallet with a minimum of four pallets plus $100 delivery fee just of St. Aug sod from Woerner. So that would be $50-75 to lay it depending on if they charged you a delivery fee. I did landscaping when I was in high school and swore I would not lay sod again.

How does your zoysia stand up to heavy traffic? My kids are constantly on the st aug and I haven’t had any issues
