Our grass never looked great, with lots of dead spots and very thin spots. We had massey for 2 years and they always claimed they could fix the problem and then zoyzia green for a year but neither one did any good. I went to lowe's many times for sod to replace bad areas which has worked all okay. Incidently went there yesterday and instead of getting 2 pallets twice a week, the outside mamager told me lucky to get 2 a month. Said severe shortage from the nursery-wonder why that is. HAHA. Anyway what i was told to do is that where the grass is thin just buy the cheapest top soil and rake it real thin around those areas. It has really helped as i have a corner lot and lots of grass so it is a pretty cheap fix. Walmart $1.34 a bag for the dirt. Also at lowes yesterday they guy showed mr a bad of zoyzia seed, expensive at $38.00 a bag but does a 1000 sq. ft. Replacing my grass as several of my neighbors have would run $2500.00.

When you say spreading top soil helped, can you be more specific about the results? We have the same problem. We were told to aerate, and that's a lot more expensive than a bag of top soil.
