What are the benefits of using Zoysia sod?

Benefits of Zoysia sod include that it is drought-tolerant, grows in practically any soil and reduces the need for mowing. The sod is resistant to diseases and chokes out many weeds, helping the grower to reduce the number of chemicals he uses in the maintenance of his lawn.

Zoysia grass is slow-growing and extends outward with stolons, or runners, that grow above and below the ground. Because it does not grow upward rapidly, it reduces the need to mow the lawn. Its growth pattern makes it an invasive grass and difficult to remove once it becomes established. Before planting the sod, owners should protect garden areas with barriers to prevent the grass from invading them.
