Default Zoysia not greening up after frost?

Interesting. I live in a neighborhood with all zoysia lawns and most are green now. A few that don't appear to have regular lawn service look a little sad, but are improving daily. Maybe it is a function of how long the lawn has been in. Mine is four years old and seems to do better (staying green longer in the winter and recovering faster in the spring) each year I have been here. Also, I do note on my travels that the farther north you go in TV, the greater the damage from the winter appears to be so that may be a factor.

To the point of the original post, my son lives in St. Augustine and his St. Augustine lawn (is that redundant??) has suffered greatly so we are looking at replacing a significant area late this month. Unfortunately, his neighborhood is all St. Augustine grass, so replacing with zoysia won't work.
