I wondered if some of you would share with me what kind of grass you have and why.
I’m from Tampa and always had St.Augustine grass. We have Zoysia grass now and I’d give anything to get rid of it for St.Augustine. St.Aug stays green year round, while zoysia goes dormant in cold weather and dies. Just go North of 466a in the winter and you’ll see the difference. St.Aug., retains water better than zoysia and looks & feels better. St.Aug., helps with drainage issues, which is much needed for the sides of the house.
