Default Type of Zoysia & Mulch to Use


wrote in message

Do the zoysia grasses stay physically soft year round. A neighbor has a
hybrid bermuda that is very "stick like" during the winter. I would
like to avoid a zoysia type if it's not soft year round.


Zoysia does go dormant in the winter in most US climates. It is usually
thought to be a stiffer, more prickly grass than bermuda.

On the other hand, zoysia tends to grow more densly than bermuda, so it is
more cushioney if you fall on it, for instance. This is true year round.
