Re: Empire Zoysia Grass
We have a new Empire Zoysia grass lawn that isn't looking all that great (fertilized it twice already), and I think we have had a fair amount of rain. I've complained to the villages (1 yr warranty) and they tell me its not getting cut close enough (It has to be cut 1 to 2" and no more) and this was also verified by the contractor who installed it and Empire Zoysia web site. THe lawn mowing guy says no way thats too short and he won't be responsible for it. I finally convinced him to cut it shorter this week > he went from 3" to 2 1/2 " and the result was the grass got scalped in places since it wasn't really layed in flat and there are some hills and bump. I fertilized it again this morning. I've looked around at a lot of other house and I don't think most of them are real green either. I think the jury is still out on this grass and it has a long way to go before it starts to look good. Artificial turn or green paint looks like a good solution.
