Geo Zoysia is a premium, fine-textured turfgrass that combines the strengths of Zoysia japonica and Zoysia tenuifolia to deliver exceptional performance with minimal maintenance. This dark-green grass thrives in a variety of soil and climate conditions, making it a versatile choice for homeowners, landscapers, golf courses, and sports fields. Geo Zoysia excels in both sandy and clay soils, offering strong sod strength, excellent wear tolerance, and deep-rooted drought resistance.
One of Geo’s standout features is its superior shade tolerance, outperforming most other Zoysia varieties and allowing it to thrive in both sunny and partially shaded areas, including transition zones. Additionally, it is highly tolerant of most herbicides, making weed control easier for both producers and homeowners.
Geo Zoysia requires proper watering upon installation, with approximately 1 inch of water per day to ensure deep soil moisture and strong root establishment. It should be mowed within 10 days of installation and then maintained at an optimal height of 1 to 2 inches. Regular mowing, every 5-7 days in the active growing season and every 10-14 days in cooler weather, will keep the lawn looking lush and healthy. For best results, a low-nitrogen, phosphorus- and potassium-rich fertilizer should be used to minimize transplant shock and promote growth.
With its durability, rich green color, and low maintenance needs, Geo Zoysia is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, resilient lawn that thrives in diverse conditions. Whether in high-traffic areas or shaded landscapes, Geo Zoysia delivers beauty and functionality with minimal upkeep.

Once established, it provides a vibrant, low-maintenance lawn that remains attractive through spring, summer, and fall with minimal upkeep.
