Zoysia sod grows into a dense, dark green lawn. The UF/IFAS Extension says Zoysia grows slower and lower than other southern lawn grasses, for a thicker, more manicured look. Empire Zoysia is the most common Zoysia in Florida, according to UF/IFAS.
GBS Sod and Landscape is based in Ormond Beach and serves Volusia and Flagler counties. Our Empire Zoysia is fresh cut and Florida-grown, sold by the pallet for pickup or delivery.

Zoysia came to the United States from Asia. It spreads by runners above and below the ground and knits into a dense mat. UF/IFAS describes Empire as very dense, with a nice green color. It also establishes at a good rate and has done well in sandy and clay soils.
Density is what sets Zoysia apart. A well-kept Zoysia lawn grows thick enough to resist weed invasion. Its slow growth also means less mowing than a fast-growing grass. Swapping a tired lawn for Empire Zoysia is a real curb appeal upgrade.
Start with the sun. UF/IFAS says Zoysia handles shade better than most warm-season grasses, but most cultivars still need sun every day. Heavy shade makes any lawn grass struggle. Under big shade trees, weigh shade-tolerant St. Augustine sod as well.
Near the ocean, salt matters. UF/IFAS says Zoysia tolerates moderate to high salt levels, while Bahia handles salt poorly. That makes Zoysia worth a look on the beachside, east of the Halifax River. Salt arrives there as ocean spray, and the sand drains fast.
Zoysia loses its color fast in a dry spell. It can go dormant within a week of drought, then green up once watered. UF/IFAS says it performs better with irrigation through dry periods. We take on irrigation repair and installation when a system needs work before new sod goes down.
Zoysia sod is sold by the pallet, so measure the area before you order. Sod delivery and pallet pickup covers pallet counts and getting the ground ready. Plan to lay the sod the day it arrives.
On an install, our crew tears out the old grass and weeds and grades the ground. Then the Zoysia goes down and gets watered in. UF/IFAS says sod belongs on bare, moist soil, laid in a staggered brick pattern with tight edges.
Zoysia needs some upkeep to stay thick. Thatch builds up over time, more so with heavy nitrogen, and is usually removed every year or two. UF/IFAS calls large patch, a disease that flares up in fall, the most troubling one for Zoysia. Nitrogen in early spring or late fall raises that risk.

My experience was excellent. Cesar was punctual and did an outstanding job installing a stone retaining wall in the front of my house. He completed the job in a very professional manner. He takes pride in his work and the finished product is beautiful. I would recommend Cesar and GBS Sod and Landscape to anyone who needs a retaining wall installed.
Caesar and Hugo did an awesome job in getting my front and backyard looking beautiful. They stripped my backyard and my front yard, put in new irrigation, border paving, weed block, seashell, along with new sod. My beach house now looks like something that belongs in a magazine. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me. GBS sod landscaping was fair priced, worked on time, and completed my job in a very quick time. I highly recommend GBS Sod and Landscaping for all your yard needs.
