Our Newest Zoysia Care Guide
https://www.naturalstatehorticare.com/blog/zoysia-grass

Zoysia grass is one of the most popular lawn grasses in Central Arkansas, and for good reason. Its lush, dense canopy creates those iconic silky green stripes that make all the neighbors jealous, and its underfoot feel is unmatched. And for lawns with slight to moderate shade, it’s the only choice.

HOWEVER, zoysia is not for the faint of heart. It can be a physical and financial challenge. In addition to high pest and disease pressure, growing healthy zoysia demands precision in both your mowing and irrigation habits.

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about maintaining a beautiful Zoysia lawn in Central Arkansas, including mowing, watering, fertilizing, shade tolerance, pest control, disease prevention, and seasonal care.

Fertilizer can do a lot for a lawn. It can improve color, density, recovery, and overall health.

But fertilizer alone cannot fix everything.

If your lawn is bumpy, thin in compacted areas, struggling to recover from soil issues, or has low spots that hold water, you may need to do more than simply apply treatments. That is where topdressing can make a big difference.

In this video, I walk through:
- Why treatments have limitations
- When topdressing makes sense
- How to prep your lawn before topdressing
- What type of soil to use
- How much material to apply
- How to use a leveling rake
- What kind of results you can realistically expect

A healthy lawn starts with the soil. Treatments help feed and protect the turf, but sometimes the physical structure of the lawn needs attention too.
