zoysia grass for Texas lawns?
Hope this is the right group, ie, has anyone ever tried using this
type of grass? It is sold in plugs, is advertised as heat, insect, disease resistant, low maintenance, low water, grows in partial shade to full sun. No need to dig out old grass. Great claims but... I have a large tree whose shade has slowly killed out Tiff419 Bermuda, and need a grass resplacement (not groundcover). Any experience in the group with this? Thanks.. |

St. Augustine is a more popular option. Have you read up on this at Aggie Horticulture yet? |

zoysia grass for Texas lawns?
This is the correct group for your question about zoysia grass for Texas
lawns. You may want to go to the group archives at Google and read what has already been discussed on the topic of zoysia: Go to groups.google.com Click on "Advanced Group Search" Search for the word "zoysia" in Group "austin.gardening" Texas A&M is a great source for info on lawns and gardening in Texas: Go to www.google.com Click on "Advanced Search" Search for the word "zoysia" in Domain "tamu.edu" Check out the Austin Growgreen program: Go to http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/growgreen Call the Travis County Extension Service at (512) 854-9600 and ask them to send you a copy of the "Native and Adapted Plant Guide". It is a nice, slick version of the guide on the Austin growgreen website. You can ask them questions, also. jjhnsn PS: If the shade is really dense, you may need to use a shade tolerant ground cover in that area. IMHO a good process for reducing lawn is to replace problem lawn areas with other alternatives. Makes the yard more interesting and easier and cheaper to care for. |
