I agree with Phanatic Lovr (although I am other side-of-the-state Pirates fan!) In the winter our zoysia gets cut once a month whether it needs it or not, which I think it could go longer. In the summer it's once a week. It's kept at 3" height and does well. When we used to go to MI for the summer, we kept a twice-a-week watering of 30 minutes, set to 1:00 a.m.
