I've noticed a lot of zoysia lawns, turning brown etc. Some because of mole crickets, others because watering, and others being taken over by Bermuda. It's an ever going battle. Then I see numerous lawns that look so beautiful and green. Maybe it boils down by having a "green thumb"!! hehe

The really green grass you see is a type of St. Augustine. It's the zoysia grass that is brown and ugly. The reason for the brown color is pure and simple -- it's the weather, specifically -- the cold weather.
