Not really. I have had Centipede and it required cutting every week, just like the Zoysia I currently have. Height wise it is a lot like Bermuda, which I have also had. Have you actually ever had Centipede?

Wrong Centipede? Really? Yes, there are different varieties. LOL. Have you actually ever had Centipede?
How to Mow Centipedegrass Mow centipedegrass every 5 to 7 days when it’s growing. Keep your centipedegrass between 1 and 2 inches tall. Mow less often when the lawn is drought-stressed and raise the height by ½ to 1 inch. However, don’t let the height exceed 2 ½ inches. Mow the lawn at 1.5 to 2 inches. Weekly mowing is the normal practice. Be sure to keep the mower blade sharp to avoid tearing rather than cutting the grass blades cleanly. During times of drought stress, mow less frequently and avoid unnecessary foot traffic. Quote:

There are 5 varieties grown commercially. Yes I have centipede now, have had it in the past, and have installed several centipede lawns for customers using sod and a few larger lawns by seed. Hands down the lowest maintenance grass in this part of Florida by far. IF you use the right variety. I love how in the winter after frost, when all the zoysia and St aug is brown, it gets that nice burgundy hue over the green.

In some parts of The Villages, zoysia grows best. In other areas, it might be St. Augustine or another grass. |
I've been told we have zoysia. I have to admit, I can't really tell by looking at it.
What I do know is that I've got a patch in the center, about 2 x 2, that doesn't want to grow much. The rest of the lawn area looks fine, it just won't expand into that area. I've fertilized, checked for bugs/larva, and nothing doing. Any thoughts on what I might be missing? My next step is to get sod and just cut out and replant the bad spot. |
