Zoysia Turf
Fine-leaf, soft turf that tolerates semi-shade, needs little water and grows slowly, so you mow less often.
- Fine leaf
- 4–5 hrs sun
- Low water
- Sold per m²
Quick answer
Zoysia Turf is a fine-leaf turf that’s soft underfoot and copes with semi-shade, needing just 4–5 hours of full sun a day. It’s water-efficient and slow growing, so you mow less. Lay it on well-drained, fertile soil and water deeply. Once established, regular mowing and the occasional feed during the growing season keep it healthy.

Step by step
Looking after your new lawn
- 01
Get the ground ready
Zoysia does best in well-drained, fertile soil, so prepare the soil properly to help the roots establish. Our team can advise on the best under-soil to go with Zoysia.
- 02
Lay the rolls and water in
When the soil is ready, lay the Zoysia evenly over the area. Water thoroughly so it settles and starts to root.
- 03
Keep it healthy
Once it’s established, Zoysia asks for very little: less water than most lawns, a regular mow and the odd feed in the growing season.
