Replacing Zoysia with St. Augustine
We live in the area of The Villages where only Empire Zoysia was allowed. Our Zoysia has many areas which have died due to stress from a construction project, followed by Irma, followed by harsh winter. We've attended University of Florida Extension presentations on Zoysia who discuss how problematic Zoysia is. We contacted Allen's Turf and Sod who informed us they no longer have Empire Zoysia and do not plan to work with it any longer due to all of the problems associated with it. U of Fla Extension indicated finding Empire Zoysia any place was difficult because it is so problematic. They indicated that Zoysia is not successful which is why The Villages has returned to installing St. Augustine in Fenney and going forward.
Has anyone else had problems such as these and how did you solve it?
