The best performing fine-textured Zoysia

Zeon's Olympic Quality Explained

Zeon Zoysia sod is so adaptable that it thrives in the heat of the lower South and cold winters of the upper South. It boasts a higher disease and insect resistance than some varieties of warm season grasses. It's soft and plush, yet easier to mow than Emerald because it doesn't require a reel mower.

Plus, it was literally in the Olympics! It was chosen as the official golf course grass of the 2016 games in Rio, Brazil.

Love fine-textured Zoysiagrass, but hate the upkeep? Choose Zeon.

  • Medium green color
  • Thin leaf blade (fine textured)
  • Likes more acidic pH than tall fescue (low pH) - depending on results of your soil test, there may be no need to raise the pH with lime
  • Slowing growing - needs less mowing than Tall Fescue & Bermudagrass
  • Mow with a reel, rotary, or robotic lawn mower
  • Drought tolerant; it goes dormant in extended drought, greening up again when rain returns

Zeon's other assets

  • Full sun; tolerant of partial shade or some bright filtered shade (pine shade or high shade)
  • After Elite Tall Fescue, Zeon is our second most shade tolerant turfgrass
  • Weed resistant due to Zeon's dense turf that crowds out weeds and other grasses
  • Requires less fertilization than other lawns, especially compared to Bermudagrasses
  • Zeon stripes pretty well, as seen in pictures herein
