Two questions, if I may:
First, in regard to the article on your site about the issues related to climate, how does the climate rate for the southern part of Northern California?
Secondly, when is the optimal time to plant/grow zoysia?
Thank you for your time and consideration to my requests.

Atlanta GeorgiaQ.zoysia grass planted in fall
Planted Geo zoysia first of October. When can I use weed control? Spray or granular? Can I put down pre-emergent for crabgrass? Sod is still dormant to this point.

March 12, 2015A.Proper mowing, irrigation and fertilizing will reduce weed problems.
For best results from your new sod and a fertilizer have a soil test performed on your lawn and fertilize accordingly.
Here is a link to help you find your local extension service.

For weed problems follow all directions for any herbicide, improper use could damage or kill your Geo. Geo Zoysia is tolerant of most herbicides.
Here is a link to an article about Geo Zoysia care.

brisbaneQ.zoysia empire contaminated with sir walter
We live in a warm climate and love our Empire zoysia turf. Problem is, as delivered, it came contaminated with some Sir Walter. So we have patches of broad leaf Sir Walter in our yard and it seems to be more invasive and is taking over. Can you recommend a method to kill off the Walter? Spray or otherwise?

Certified ExpertA.The article below will give you many natural methods on how to kill the Sir Walter grass invading your lawn. I would try these natural methods first before resorting to chemical measures. If none of these natural methods work, you could try spraying small areas of the Sir Walter with glyphosate but you run the risk of harming your zoysia turf in the process.

GaQ.planting zoysia seed
I'm wanting to plant zoysia grass from the seed. Do I need to put down straw when doing so? I'm planning on roto tilling the area. I'm wanting to seed and laying down plenty of zoysia seed. Any thought on how to get it to grow the best I can?

Southern New JerseyQ.Zoysia grass has clover patches and dark green spots
Clover patches in a few spots and dark green half circle that mushrooms popped up in last fall. What do I do to get rid of both problems?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
April 22, 2015A.Clover can be removed by hand or the use of a herbicide.
Mushrooms are not detrimental to your lawn, but can be eliminated with a fungicide.
