If you keep your empire zoysia cut to 2 inches, you will get greater rhizome growth and deeper roots. The lawn will look great all year with very little watering. Cutting at 4 inches just makes stolon growth that will go dormmate if yell BOO at it. It takes an entire year for the rhizome roots to go 8 inches into the soil/sand.
