    Zoysia may work for you. You can grow it where you are but in colder areas, it goes dormant in the winter and gets brown. If you don't mind trading that for its durability, it would work for you. The most durable grass for cooler climates, however, is Kentucky Bluegrass.

    The grass will stay green for most of that time. It will be a bit brown at the very beginning and the tail end of that time if you have a cold winter. It can stand up to the traffic, but may become a nuisance at the edges of the fields.

    You may want to look at Bluegrass or a Bluegrass Mixture. The mixtures are normally set up to establish quickly with a faster growing turf grass that then gives way to the more sturdy Bluegrass as it establishes. Bluegrass is less invasive, looks nice in cooler areas like yours but is very durable once established.

    I am not aware of a zoysia specific weed and feed product. But, you should be adding a weed and feed product to the grass while it is coming out of its dormant period. This is when it will have the most effectiveness.

    If you live in a cooler climate area, this can happen. It will recover in a few weeks as the weather warms. Many parts of the country are experiencing cooler than expected weather and this delays the greening of zoysia grass.

    But, it could be a fungus as well. This article will outline the most common fungus:

    Fungus normally appear in a patterned shape (spots, circles, etc). If you are seeing a pattern to your thin yard, it is definitely a fungus.
