What is it? Anyone here have it?

Read MeI checked up on this stuff after seeing ads in airline mags.  Still undecided.

I am in a northern climate...and can#39;t grow zoysia here--which I knew.  I have heard that you plant a few plugs of zoysia...and over time, it spreads to cover your entire yard.  Okay fine. But...what if your neighbors don#39;t want zoysia? If it spreads throughout your yard...won#39;t it spread to cover your neighbors yards...then finally the entire block?

Good question.I would assume it would spread without something to keep it from doing so.I am bordered on 2 sides  by landscaping and could add it to the third, confing the Zoysia to my own yard only.

depends on where you live, but if you#39;re in the south, you should do it. It is very thick, and when cut and edged, has distinctive, hard lines because it grows pointing up, and is the most beautiful grass we have down here. I moved into a new house last year, and have a bermuda lawn, but there are many dirt spots under some of my trees, and I#39;ve been sodding it with zoysia. I wish my whole yard was zoysia. Don#39;t get me started on playing golf on it, it holds your ball up better than any grass I#39;ve ever seen. To demonstrate how strong and upright is grows, if you drive your golf cart across a zoysia fairway, the grain of the grass will push and pull your cart in a serpentine fashion. zoysia picture

It#39;s not like it takes over, though.

In the winter (if applicable) the Zoysia will brown - we had it when I was a kid and we used to slide down the hill in front of the house - used to have a pile of dead grass at the foot of the hill. But it is a thick grass that does not let weeds through. Watch those seedlings, they are very sharp.
