Amy, I live in Tyler, Texas and I am considering zoysia for my lawn. Is zoysia a good type of lawngrass for this part of the country? If so, which varieties do you recommend? I have virtually no shade since all trees are not yet matured, and I am looking for a dense dark green lawn. Most of the information I have found on zoysia mentions that it needs to be mowed with a reel mower. Can a rotary type mower not be used on zoysia? Please help.

Jon,Zoysia is a great type of grass, it is good with drought and with traffic. JaMur would be a good type for you to use since you have trees that will eventually shade the lawn. As for mowing, you can mow with a rotary mower just make sure you do not mow any lower than two inches, it would be a good idea to make sure the blade is sharp also.
