In some parts of The Villages, zoysia grows best. In other areas, it might be St. Augustine or another grass.
The facts on why the changed grasses have nothing to do with pH or even what is good for the homeowners. The pH will be around 7.2 everywhere as all topsoil is stripped. and fill from a pit is used with no amendments.
