Re: Eco Grass


you guys are cracking me up poor things

our neighborhoods are mainly architecturally controlled - well the new ones like mine are. One of my neighbor's defied the god's that be, and put in a gorgeous rock garden for their front lawn. They had to fight like crazy plus they lost their 1,000 landscape deposit but they said it was worth it.

I wish I was that brave when I moved in. My lot is small but grass is over-rated for sure. I just need a litte patch to walk barefooted but then the rest can be non-grass as far as I am concerned.

If you guys defied the rules, could you get away with it?

http://www1.zoysiafarms.com/whatspec.jsp

Zoysia is a particularly hardy grass that grows well in a wide range of conditions and requires far less watering and mowing than most grasses. At the same time, this “tough” grass creates a thick, soft carpet that feels great in bare feet. Zoysia is ideal because it actually grows differently. It sends out runners or “stolons,” expanding sideways more than it grows tall.

This is why it is so dense and effective at choking out most summer weeds and replacing existing grass. With our superior blend of zoysia, Amazoy®, you can plant a network of plugs in a new or existing lawn and it will grow into a lush, even, weed-free lawn within several growing seasons.
