I think Zoysia LOOKS more like Ohio grass. St. Augustine has wider blades and feels a little harsh when you go barefooted.

We have both in The Villages. The St. Augustine grass tends to be found more toward the Northern part and the new areas are all sodded with Zoysia.

The people who cut our Zoysia in Hadley left the clippings and the grass looked fine.

Just be prepared for a brown lawn for a few months in winter as the zoysia goes dormant.

Brown is wonderful as you don't have to cut the grass

We have a courtyard villa and I had the usual landscaping job done, pine straw removed, fabric put down and a palm tree planted and copper rocks put down. However I did leave the 4 foot strip of grass in the front and in the courtyard in the rear. My neighbor bought a push mower from Home Depot, I was going to get an electric until I saw how well his cut the grass. We both got the deluxe push mower with the bag, but I never use the bag like I did in Baltimore. Just let the grass mulch itself and three weeks ago I put down good fertilizer and it really looks green. It grows so fast I have to cut it every five days.
