New home in Gilchrist - moved in Feb '14. Sod was placed directly on sand fill, and required a lot of irrig for months. During early summer grass struggled and developed areas of nogrowth, then weeds esp in the back. Leaned on Heron (our fert folks) extra care by them, good watering (natural and 3x per week irrig), Black Kow spread into on bare spots - and now our lawn looks as nice as the established homes (were built 1 1/2-2 years back). Lawn is full, lush, green, and few weeds. Very pleased. It takes a bit of effort, care, and especially time - I'd guess for the sod/Zoysia root system to finally....take root.
I still find it startling how sod can grow in such a sandy/clay environment.
A thumbs up for Heron.
