Here's how to plant Zoysia Grass from seed:

Choose the Right Time: Zoysia grass seeds should be planted in the late spring or early summer when the soil temperature has reached around 70°F or higher. This usually corresponds to the time when other warm-season grasses are being planted.

Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by tilling it to a depth of 4-6 inches. Remove any debris, rocks, or large clumps of soil. Level the area using a rake to create a smooth and even surface.

Soil Testing and Amendment: Conduct a soil test to determine the pH and nutrient levels of the soil. Zoysia grass prefers slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6 and 7.

Seed Sowing: Spread the Zoysia grass seeds evenly over the prepared soil. Keep in mind that Zoysia seeds are very small, so be cautious not to sow them too densely.

Raking and Rolling: Gently rake the soil surface to lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Avoid burying the seeds too deeply, as they require sunlight to germinate. After raking, use a lawn roller to press the seeds into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact.

Watering: Water the newly seeded area thoroughly immediately after sowing. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. This may require watering multiple times a day for short intervals.

Germination: Zoysia grass seeds can take anywhere from 14 to 21 days, or even longer, to germinate. Be patient and maintain consistent soil moisture during this period.
