The zoysia planted in the villages is EMPIRE ZOYzIA and it is planted as either plugs, sprigs or sod as it does not produce viable seed. The zoyzia seed that you can buy is not the same as empire zoysia.
Re: top dressing to fill low spots. You can do it about 1/4 of an inch every week or three. More than that and you will or may, kill your grass in that spot. If the grass in a spot is good but too low, you can cut the sod with a straight shovel put soil underneath stir the better soil into the sandy clay you are likely to discover undeer your grass and put the sod back into place. It will quickly re root now, june, july is the best time to do this.
