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!

Im with you. We live in Lake Deaton, so therefore have Zoysia. Paying our monthly water bill (the irrigation portion) each month, I sure as heck don't see any savings. In-laws and friends who live near the polo grounds, and have St. Augustine, water less than we do, and enjoy beautiful green grass year round. In my opinion there is no water savings with Zoysia.
