I had a neighbor who did this last winter and in the summer fall his zoysia grass looks nearly 40% dead. I think he had a problem with his empire zoysia grass before he did the over seading so not sure if that had anything to do with it. To me Empire Zoysia is a long way from the perfect grass. Most lawns I see with Empire Zoysia are pretty marginal. For my lawn the Villages and lawn people can't seem to agree on what to do (cut it short, cut it long, not enough water, too much water etc) Perhaps its my frame of reference grass in NY which is dense green.
My Empire Zoysia lawn gets cut about 3 times a week in the spring summer fall and only 1x a mt in winter and I don't think it needs it then.
Has anyone tried green dye to keep their grass looking good?
