I thought that when TV came further south, they had to negotiate with Sumter county to use less water and generally use fewer natural resources. It may be the reason for the Zoysia grass. We were "told"! (But then we were also told buildout would be 2014)

bruce-with-the-darling-beagle-rnelson, some people overseed zoysia with rye grass in the winter. You might give that a try. Needs more mowing, and the grass can escape into your neighbor's yard, although that might not be a problem in a CYV. We tried it one year. It was spotty in our yard (designer).

We've given up. Nothing down here will match our up-North grass.
