Uh oh. I somehow got the idea that the zoysia in my lawn is of the emerald variety, but looks like LaCosta's is palisades. From the way they describe it on their website, I'm now wondering if mine is actually palisades, as it has a wider blade than zoysia I had been around previously. Would love to chop up a slab and tuck pieces into some "holes" that we have. I suspect that mixing the two would be less than optimal. . . From their website:
Palisades Zoysia Compared to Emerald Zoysia
The Palisades Zoysia grass is a little lower maintenance, but it does not have the shade tolerance that the fine-bladed Zoysias do. Shade tolerance, I guess, is probably the key difference between Palisades and Emerald Zoysia. Emerald only needs about four or five hours of direct sunlight per day to survive, whereas Palisades Zoysia needs six or seven hours for the most part.
