I wonder how much it would cost to replace a small designer lot's zoysia with st. Augustine?

My understanding from our sales agent was that in order to continue building, the counties insisted that TV take certain steps to mitigate the overuse of natural resources. I thought he said zoysia grass was one of those steps. But then we moved in and realized how much water it would take to keep it lush and green. Doesn't seem like that grass is a good way to conserve water. Unless the reason is that one is supposed to let it go brown in the winter?

I would love to have a green lawn.
