Memorial Weekend

Greetings,

Instead of a nice day out at the beach, park or golf course...

Harry decided to bring a little outdoor enjoyment to our front yard. 


With Zoysia.

Harry had to school me on the various types of grass this weekend.


This is what I found out....

It is a low growing, creeping grass, heat resistant, wiry, possibly uncomfortable under the bare foot. Zoysia is slow to establish but aggressive and competes with weeds for its own space.

It makes one of the most beautiful, carpeted lawns when fully established.

Because they can tolerate wide variations in temperature, sunlight, and water, these grasses are among the most widely used for lawns in temperate climates. They are used on golf courses to create fairways and teeing areas. Zoysia grasses stop erosion on slopes, and are excellent at repelling weeds throughout the year.  They resist disease and hold up well under traffic.


A zoysia grass lawn is frequently touted as the cure all for the homeowner’s lawn cares.

He cultivated and reseeded a small patch of the lawn. In 4 - 6 weeks our front lawn (at least a small section of it) will look like a golf course.


I am curious to see Harry's putting green in the next few weeks.

Blessings,
