Meyer Zoysia

Meyer Zoysia is a warm-season grass that thrives in the summer heat.  It has tight, upright blades that form a dense, consistent turf.  Medium-green in color, it also has a high tolerance for traffic and drought.  Meyer Zoysia is widely used on golf courses fairways and tees and is the top warm-season turfgrass for St. Louis area lawns.  It exhibits excellent cold hardiness and is rarely susceptible to winter loss.  Our Meyer Zoysia sod is grown to golf course specifications, maintained with reel-type mowers to achieve a consistent fairway cut.

Homeowners often describe Meyer Zoysia as a dense outdoor carpet.  Many love Meyer Zoysia because it thrives in the summer when other lawns are struggling.  It spreads laterally across the ground, which helps to choke out weeds and fill in bare spots.  Meyer Zoysia goes into winter dormancy beginning with the first frost, and greens up the following April or May.

Highlights:

Excellent heat tolerance, and good drought tolerance.  Zoysia shines in our hot summers.

Grows best in full sun, but will tolerate some shade

Excellent cold-hardiness

Medium green color during the growing season.  Straw color during dormancy.

Good wear tolerance, even during dormancy. 

Recommended Uses:

Residential/Commercial Lawns – Makes a great lawn grass, especially for full-sun lawns and those that receive a lot of summer use.  Good wear tolerance makes it ideal for kids and pets.

Athletic Fields – Generally not recommended.  A dense, upright growth pattern creates a “false footing” scenario that is undesirable for competitive sports.

Parks/Institutions – Excellent for full-sun areas, south facing hillsides, and areas with high foot traffic.

Golf Courses – Fairways, tees, and roughs.  Our Meyer Zoysia sod is mowed at fairway height, with minimal thatch, for easy transition to fairways or tees. 

Types of Cut:

Pallet:  Easy to handle 20” x 40” slabs, perfect for do-it-yourself installation.
66 slabs per pallet  = 360 square feet

Big Roll:  A continuous roll that can be installed with a tractor or skid-loader, with less labor.  Good for large installation projects with limited obstacles.

Big roll is 42” wide, split down the middle for two 21” strips.  Standard size roll covers 360 square feet, but can be cut to shorter lengths upon request.

Sprigs:  Our sprigs are clean, healthy, and durable because they are dug out of the ground, not cut off the top.  Each sprig contains the leaves, stolons, and roots of the plant.  We dig them fresh, directly into your truck.  Available for golf courses.
