Default Zoysia grass

We live near Arnold Palmer Legends. Like most folks over here we have that Zoysia grass. 85%+ of grass is beautiful. 15% is ugly, sparse and bare. Fortunately its in the rear.

For six years I have dealt with Massey lawn service and two independent landscapers. We have readjusted sprinklers twice, adjusted timer several times, applied an assortment of fertilizers, put in zoysia plugs and other stuff to make something grow. Its still bare.

Any suggestions? Been thinking about new sod but don't want to chase $$$$ if something is wrong with the soil. Complained to Massey...again. They're coming Monday to take soil samples. I would dump Massey if 85% of lawn didn't look like the outfield in Yankee stadium.

Any recommended zoysia specialist who installs sod?
