It may be subjective, Polar Bear, but one can't deny that any type of St. Augustine looks 100% better than the Zoysia in the newer areas. So tell me . . . . . what's wrong with green grass all year long as opposed to brown in the winter and brown blotches here and there all summer long?
In addition, you really aren't saving water. There isn't much difference in the amount of water each type requires. The real secret is not to scalp your lawn and let it grow to a height of 4 inches or so. Those who have Zoysia should think about planting St. Augustine plugs!
