Amazoy Zoysia Grass Saved My Yard

We moved recently and ended up with a yard that consisted of rocks and clay mud. Some topsoil lay in a large mound across the driveway. After we spread the topsoil over as much of the clay as possible, there was still more clay than dirt in the front yard. I raked and raked rocks. Then, I raked some more rocks.

I remembered all the ads I had seen for zoysia grass over the years. I decided to see if this grass might work for this yard, or lack of yard. I found the website easily. The prices were very reasonable. I placed an order for 300 Amazoy zoysia grass plugs. The zoysia plugs were scheduled to ship in March when it would then be optimal planting time for this area. This gave me some time to rake more rocks.

I waited and waited for the zoysia grass plugs. I was curious to see if they could possibly grow in this desolate dirt. Weeds and crabgrass had begun to sprout up by the time the zoysia plugs arrived.

The Amazoy zoysia grass was touted to grow well in any soil, including clay mud. With strong roots, the zoysia grass can develop good roots by penetrating the ground and creating air passages. The Amazoy zoysia grass requires 2-3 hours of sunlight each day. In my front yard, it would receive that and more.

The plugs arrived and weren't cut all the way through. The enclosed papers recommended planting the plugs the day received or within a couple of days. The temperatures outside were very high so it was a week before I managed to get the zoysia grass in the ground. Checking the grass daily and misting lightly with water, the zoysia grass continued to grow in the box.

I planted the zoysia grass plugs one foot apart following the instructions. We did not own a plugger for digging the holes. Instead, my husband put a bit on his cordless drill and quickly made holes for the zoysia grass. You just have to love power tools.
