Zoysia’s Deep Root System

posted on November 4th, 2010 by Steve Schug

A unique advantage of maintaining a Zoysia lawn is that the grass plugs grow with a deep and thick root structure. This root system allows Zoysia to grow in thick and plush with a carpet-like grass that feels great on bare feet.

Benefits of a Deep Root System:

- Allows the roots to more effectively extract water from deeper soil, reducing your needs to water your Zoysia lawn.

- Amazoy plugs make it easy to plant the grass on steep areas and slopes.

- Since Zoysia grows so thick with deep roots, it crowds out weeds and crab grasses so they are unable to germinate.

- Thick roots work to replace unwanted existing grasses in the lawn.

- Zoysia is able to grow in all types of dense clay soils because the strong roots are strong enough to penetrate the ground and create air passages allowing root development.

- Once the root system is fully established (reaching about 2 feet), the thickness of the turf will work to reduce slope erosion.

    Hi,
    I planted over 3000 plugs last year and I have a problem on the slops in my back yard, I would be glad to send you photo’s of the areas I am having problems growing the plugs.
    By the way the center of the yard is growing well.
    My front yard is admired by all.
    e, that took me over five years to it to where I wanted it.

    Your Zoysia lawn plugs did not grow for me, this was a very bad idea for me to purchase them from you.
    I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANY ONE TO PURCHASE FROM YOU IS THERE ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY ON YOUR GRASS PLUGS

    HOPE TO RECEIVE A ANSWER FROM YOU,
