Default Empire Zoysia Is Used South Of CR 466

Our builder explained that research by TV agronomists indicated that this variety of zoysia is more drought and disease resistant and softer to walk on. I can add that it can be cut very short and makes for a much more attractive lawn than the St. Augustine or the version of zoysia used in older areas in TV. It's easy to spot the newer Empire variety when just driving around. I was a "Kentucky blue grass fan" up north, but I'm very happy with Empire Zoysia here in TV.
