Meyer Zoysia Maintenance & Care Guide
Meyer Zoysia offers a great balance of performance and beauty with relatively low upkeep. While it doesn’t spread as aggressively as newer varieties, it creates a thick, weed-resistant lawn when properly maintained.
Light & Growing Conditions
-
Performs best in full sun but tolerates light to moderate shade
-
Needs at least 5–6 hours of sun daily for optimal growth
-
Grows well in well-drained, fertile soils (pH 6.0–6.5 preferred)
-
Tolerates cooler winters better than most warm-season grasses
-
Slower to establish than some Zoysia types, but very stable once rooted
Watering
-
Water immediately after installation to encourage rooting
-
Maintain consistent moisture during the first 2–3 weeks
-
After establishment, water once per week (1 inch total, including rainfall)
-
Avoid overwatering — Meyer performs best with deep, infrequent watering
-
Tolerates dry spells but prefers occasional supplemental irrigation in summer
Mowing
-
Begin mowing once grass reaches 2.5 inches
-
Maintain between 1.0" to 2.0" for best appearance

Mow every 10–14 days during peak season
-
Use a sharp blade; reel or rotary mower both work well
-
Occasional dethatching (once per season) may be needed due to slower vertical growth
