Is Zoysia Grass More Resistant to Lawn Pests Such as Grubs?

Question

I have Saint Augustine grass and grub control is something that I discovered late in the game and so now have patches of grass where I am replanting Saint Augustine plugs. I am thinking about planting Zoysia seeds or plugs in that area.

Answer 1

It is not really any more resistant to grubs than St. Augustine grass. Unfortunately, you will need to address the grubs in order to improve the grass. This article may help:
