Actually that is not so. There are many varieties of St Augustine grass. You can buy St Augustine grass seed, it is not the same variety planted by the builders in the villages.

Runners Zoyzia runs them under ground. St Augustine runs them on top.

Both the variety of St Augustine planted in the villages and the empire zoysia do produce seeds. They are either not viable or since both are hybrids they will not breed true.
