I believe all new houses built since at least about early 2006 are empire zoysia...supposed to be more drought tolerant and not affected by chinch bugs. Doesn't seem to stay as green for as long as the St Augustine does. Also, it is a softer grass and easier to walk on than St A which is very course/sharp on the feet.
