I saw an ad for Amazoy (Zoysia) grass in the last Parade magazine,
and was wondering if anyone can attest to its claims so far as not
requiring much watering of cutting, and its ability to stay green in
hot/cold extremes. I am considering this in the northern CA region.

I mentioned it to the landscaper once and he said it's essentially
crabgrass. Which doesn't tell you if it needs water or stays green, but
should give you an idea of its agressiveness...

Your landscaper is an idiot. Crabgrass is an annual and is propagated by
seed. Zoysia is perennial and is vegetatively propagated and is in no way
realted, even remotely, to crabgrass.
