Zoysia is a resilient type of grass that boasts a visually appealing dark green hue, accompanied by its soft leaves, and demands minimal to moderate upkeep.

This grass is well-suited for regions in the south and transition zones. It can handle high temperatures and drought conditions with ease. Additionally, Zoysia Grass has low water and maintenance needs, making it a convenient choice. Its dense growth can withstand heavy foot traffic.

All you need to know about Zoysia SOD

At SOD DEPOT OF TAMPA BAY, we offer several high-quality SOD options, including Floratam St. Augustine, Bahia for home landscapes and our premium Zoysia sod, an excellent choice for both residential and commercial use. Zoysia is known for its lush, carpet-like appearance, making it ideal for front yards, golf courses, parks, and any space where a beautiful, dense turf is desired.

This grass features a rich green color and is well-known for its excellent drought tolerance and ability to recover from heavy foot traffic. The best time for planting Zoysia is from late spring through early summer, allowing the grass to establish strong roots before cooler temperatures slow its growth in the fall and winter months.

Originally introduced to the U.S. from Asia, Zoysia is a fine- to medium-textured turfgrass that grows slowly but forms a thick, weed-resistant mat once mature. It spreads through both rhizomes and stolons, often referred to as a "creeping grass," and delivers a uniform, manicured look with minimal input. Zoysia thrives in areas with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, though some varieties can tolerate partial shade. In colder months, it may enter dormancy and turn brown but will green up again in spring as temperatures rise.

Zoysia performs exceptionally well in Florida’s sunny, humid climate and requires moderate maintenance to stay healthy and attractive. After installation, it typically takes 2 to 3 weeks for the roots to begin establishing. Once rooted, it should be mowed to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 inches. While Zoysia is relatively low-maintenance once mature, regular watering during the establishment period is essential for long-term success. Afterward, it needs only occasional watering and fertilization to maintain its dense, green appearance.

Zoysia is especially suited for residential lawns, common areas, playgrounds, and luxury landscapes where a soft, durable surface is needed. It is also highly effective in erosion control thanks to its thick growth and strong root system. Additionally, Zoysia is naturally resistant to many pests and diseases, making it a dependable choice for those seeking long-lasting, sustainable turf.

In summary, Zoysia sod is a beautiful, dense, and resilient turfgrass perfect for Florida's climate. With its high drought tolerance, heat resistance, and minimal upkeep requirements, Zoysia offers a luxurious yet practical solution for homeowners and property managers alike.

Warranty Clause

  • Sod Depot of Tampa Bay offers no written warranties on sod. Once the sod has been delivered it’s out of our hands. There are many factors out of our control once the sod leaves the farms. We believe that our customers will do the proper research regarding the best care for their sod and to do further research when choosing which sod will best fit their needs.

  • Please note that the worst time of the year to install sod is May-September. There is an 80-90 percent chance that the sod will get fungus or sod web worms or even both. We strongly recommend that you hire a lawn professional to spray your sod for fungus and insect problems.

  • Sod should be installed right after it has been delivered. The longer you leave the sod on the pallet the worst it will look.

  • Bahia Sod will at times have fire ants, weeds, cow patties and falls apart when picking it off the pallet. Bahia Sod needs to be installed within 48 hours!
