Is this commonly done? We have only had St. Augustine before.
I spoke with one of the Zoysia sod growers a couple years ago and they advised againist overseeding with rye grass. The rye generates a lot of thatch that is not good for your lawn.
There was another thread discussing rye grass overseeding.
