Had St. Augustine for 27 years in Florida (St. Pete and Sarasota), always had a nice looking yard. Bought a house here in 2011 with Zoysia, was told it was more drought tolerant. Worst lawn I've ever had, by a mile. If you look at the yards up north by Lopez and Glenview w/St. Augustine, they all look way better than any of the zoysia lawns, which I believe is why they went back to St. Augustine in the newer areas (I was told).
