It doesn't look any worse to me than the growing astro-turf you folks call Zoysia. At least torpedo grass adds a touch of interesting texture and the pale underside of the leaves gives the lawn a shimmery look in the right light.
Lawns in the south are different than up in the northern part of the country and maybe, just maybe, the next door neighbor prefers the lawn type that came with his/her home and not torpedo grass that will work its way to another yard. 32 years in CA...we had Blue Grass and Bermuda...13 years
here, St. Augustine’s and Zoysia,,,conditions are better for them than other “grasses.”
