Zoysia from SOD-X is a particularly hardy grass that grows well in a wide range of conditions and requires less watering and mowing than most other grasses. At the same time, this “tough & hardy” grass creates a thick, soft carpet that feels great in bare feet. Zoysia is the ideal grass (or sod) because it actually grows differently. It sends out runners or “stolons,” expanding sideways (or horizontally) more than it grows tall.
This is why it is so thick and effective at choking out most summer weeds and replacing existing grass. With Zoysia you can plant a network of plugs in a new or existing lawn and it will grow into a lush, even, weed-free lawn within several growing seasons.

It’s actually chinch bugs that cause this.
