FAQs

Here are some of our most popular questions regarding Empire Zoysia®. If you don't see an answer to your question below, feel free to contact us. 

Does Empire Zoysia use less water than other grasses?

Empire Zoysia doesn’t use less water than other grasses. What makes it more drought-hardy is that when it stops getting the water it will go into dormancy and not die as other grass varieties can. When the water returns, Empire Zoysia will green back up in a number of days. Empire Zoysia will probably need about 1 inch of water per week in the active growing season either from irrigation or natural rainfall to look good, much less to simply survive.

How well does it handle shade?

Empire Zoysia has a moderate shade tolerance. We usually recommend that it needs 4-5 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight per day. It will require more than that if it only receives filtered sunlight through branches. Like all grasses, EMPIRE needs sunlight to survive and will begin to thin out if it isn’t getting the sunlight that it needs. Other considerations are the number of tree roots beneath the grass and the competition for nutrients.

When will my lawn be ready to mow?

Mow within 10 days of installation and bag clippings for the first few mowings. New installations are often uneven and care should be taken not to “scalp” any high spots.
