I was talked out of installing Zoysia on a very good point. It's first to
turn brown in the fall and last to turn green in spring.

Does anyone have any information or knowledge of the Zoysia Lawn "plugs"
that are advertised in the Family Handyman magazines??

I'm building a new house this year and I was thinking of planting that
type of lawn.

Thanks for any input.

Check with the people next door, that grass will take over a lawn in no
time. I know I have some in my yard from next door. Zoysia is a hard grass
to get rid of because it has really deep/thick roots 6" or so. We have St.
Aug grass here (S. Texas) and it is no match for the Zoysia, it won't even
grow around the Zoysia at all.
