I don't think you are correct on either of your points.
Cypress mulch is discouraged because it resulted in the destruction of cypress trees as to cost, it is actually less costly than pine needles.
As to zoysia vs St Augustine. Each has pluses and minuses cost is about the same per sq. foot.. The zoysia is a much finer bladed grass than is the St Augustine.
RE: saving $300 per house.
I tried to pay to have them add organic matter to the lime sand/clay we are attempting to grow our plants and lawns in-they refuse to do it.
