Emerald Zoysia Maintenance & Care Guide
Emerald Zoysia is relatively low-maintenance, especially when compared to other fine turfgrasses. Its slow growth, weed resistance, and tolerance for partial shade make it a strong performer in Georgia’s climate. With proper care, it offers a thick, golf-course-quality lawn with less mowing and water.
Light & Growing Conditions
-
Thrives in full sun, but performs well in partially shaded areas (4–6 hours of sunlight)
-
Ideal for tree-lined or east-facing properties
-
Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–6.5)
-
Adapts well to Georgia's warm, humid summers
-
Grows slowly, but creates a dense, carpet-like surface when established
Watering
-
Water thoroughly after installation to soak roots
-
Keep sod moist for the first 2–3 weeks during establishment
-
After rooting, water deeply once per week — about 1 inch total
-
Avoid shallow, frequent watering — deep watering encourages deep roots
-
Drought-tolerant once established, though it prefers consistent moisture
Mowing
-
Begin mowing when grass reaches around 2.5 inches
-
Maintain at 0.75" to 2.0" for best appearance
-
Mow every 10–14 days during the growing season
-
Slow growth means less mowing than Bermuda or St. Augustine
-
Use a sharp mower blade or reel mower for a smooth finish
