I agree, IF you have enough sun. I had some spots that were shaded and the zoysia would just die there.

Zoysia needs to be dethatched, aerated and overseeded once a year once it's been laid down until desired look is achieved.

I am merely on year 1 of my lawn. One more year of leveling and all the above should do me.

And you gotta fertilize it , like all grass really, every 6 weeks. The big box store stuff isn't good enough and it's more expensive. Peruse your local SiteOne Landscape Supply, if you have one. You'll never use any other stuff , even the weed killer offerings.
