While there are some zoysia varieties that only exist as vegetative sod areas, once you need to move sod any distance especially in our warm Australian climate it can be expensive and a bit tricky, as it is also if larger areas are required on a site.
Seed of Compadre [or even Zenith if available] offer an alternate and similar quality turf, once established. Yes, a longer period to establish to a suitable standard for use, but at considerable $$ savings in comparison to using sod.
With sod costing $10 - 20 per sq m at the production site, and a delivery charge often added, seed offers a real alternative, and is much cheaper per unit area.
NOW........is the time to seriously consider Compadre zoysia for your lawn. If in areas of Australia, say Brisbane and south, soil is about warm enough for prompt establishment [average soil temperature 18-20C desirable] and the longer days ensure adequate light to invigorate seedling growth.
Remember you need a clean seed bed and it is worth taking the time to remove as many weed seedlings as possible. We offer services and advice to ensure you can establish an area successfully, and can advise on appropriate herbicides for weed control within a developing zoysia lawn, including zoysia sod areas [ unfortunately not all sod finishes up weed free including from a weedy sub soil].
We consign any seed purchased promptly via air express - with a normal 2-3 business day delivery around Australia, including outside capital cities.
Ask for our information sheets, after reading the many articles on this blog.
Remember that Compadre zoysia is a great warm season lawn needing less mowing, less water, less fertiliser and mostly disease free...........you will not be disappointed once the lawn is established.
