Zoysia Grass
Best Regions To Grow Zoysia
What are the best regions to grow Zoysia
Where Can I Grow Zoysia In Australia
Zoysia grass does it's very best in warmer weather climates where it will absolutely thrive, especially in humid climates. Many Zoysia grass types also grow very well right around Australia, but there are important differences between the different families of Zoysia, and differences within these families between the different brands of Zoysia.
So let's take an in-depth look at each of the different regions of Australia to determine the best Zoysia grasses for us to choose from.
Converting Council Parks To Using Zoysia

Time To Switch Our Parks To Zoysia
We're going to take a look at a typical Council park in suburban Australia. The park is planted with common Kikuyu, it has some shaded areas from some beautiful trees in the park, as well as a nice kids playground area. The park receives only minimal usage.
In this article we're going to examine the troubles presented by the use of Kikuyu in this park, as well as looking at the cost savings, and savings in environmentally damaging practices that both the council and residents would benefit from if the council used Zoysia in place of common Kikuyu.
Zoysia For Roadsides and Median Strips
Roadsides are perfect for Zoysia
Zoysia - The Very Best Choice For Low Use Government Areas
This Zoysia article is directed once again at Government, and specifically at the good men and women responsible for managing our roads and their accompanying nature strips, median strips, verges, roundabouts and every other area where they are responsible for planting and maintaining lawns and other plants.
Our strong suggestion - stop using Kikuyu and Couch - and start using Zoysia - exclusively.

Why Is Zoysia Being Kept Secret
Why Won't The Grass Companies Tell Us About Zoysia Being So Good
Every grass type we hear advertised on the radio, or see for sale with a brand name attached to it - is owned by a company under Plant Breeders Rights or other licensing privileges. The reason for the existence of these grass companies is to sell as much of their grass as possible, and there is nothing wrong with that - it's how all businesses operate.
But the problem here is also the fact that these same grass companies will not want Australian homeowners to know that there is such a high quality, low maintenance and environmentally friendly grass like Zoysia available. Because if they did, they would be putting themselves out of business!!!

Different Types Of Zoysia Grasses
There are several different varieties within the Zoysia grass family, and each can have different strengths, weaknesses, suitability of climate and appearances. This article takes an overall look into the most common Zoysia types in use as lawns in Australia.
