Why homeowners upgrade to Empire Zoysia
Empire Zoysia forms a thick, carpet-like turf that feels good underfoot and crowds out weeds once established. It suits higher-end homes in Pinecrest, Coral Gables and Palmetto Bay where curb appeal matters.
Best for
- Luxury residential lawns and front yards
- Light or partial shade
- Owners who want a dense, uniform look
Care in brief
- Mow at about 2–2.5 inches; a sharp blade matters
- Recovers more slowly from damage than Bermuda — avoid heavy traffic while rooting
- Avoid excessive nitrogen; Zoysia prefers moderate feeding
- New sod: follow our 4-week watering guide

Frequently asked questions
Is Zoysia more expensive than Floratam?
Typically yes, per pallet. Call for today’s price — the difference is often small compared with the full cost of prep and installation.
Can I mix Zoysia with my existing St. Augustine?
It is best to replace an entire area. The textures and colors differ noticeably.
How much area does one pallet of sod cover?
Empire Zoysia pallets cover about 400 square feet and Palmetto St. Augustine pallets cover about 500 square feet. Coverage for other varieties varies by farm, so we confirm the exact number when we quote. Order about 5% extra for cuts, curves and edges.
Can you deliver sod the same day?
Often, yes, when the variety is in stock and our trucks have a slot in your area. Call or text before noon for the best chance. Large orders and Broward or Palm Beach deliveries are usually scheduled ahead.
Do I need to remove my old grass first?
Yes. New sod needs direct contact with clean, level soil. We can kill-off and strip old turf, remove debris, grade with our Bobcats and add topsoil before laying sod.
