Meyers Zoysia
Considered a premier choice for many lawns, Meyers Zoysia is a flexible warm season turf grass utilized for many different applications. Meyers has become the most popular of the Zoysia grasses because of its consistent, medium texture and high tolerances for hot and cold conditions. This type of sod also carries a high resistance to disease. It is commonly a recommended choice for residential and commercial landscapes, golf courses, athletic fields and recreation areas.

Other Maintenance
- Meyers Zoysia has a high quality appearance when it is kept mowed at a height of one to two inches. Mow regularly with a reel or rotary mower allowing the clippings to remain.
- Sporadic or fluctuating mowing practices on this type of grass may result in a high buildup of thatch, which can often require mulching or removal.
