4 Spring Tips for a GREENER Lawn // Spring Scalp Zoysia

[@ZoysiaRUs]

4 spring tips for a greener lawn. Spring scalping warm season grass is the first step to a successful lawn care season. My opinion, this is one of the worst parts of managing zoysia. However, once you get through this period, the rest of the year is a breeze.

Love the Ventrac usage as well!

Sir, I am so impressed with your passion for your property, your attention to detail, and your work ethic. I love listening to your strategy and plan of action for your property..... Do you work on other properties as well? Where are you located? Your content and channel are one of my favs, I could watch all day!

[@theweekendbuilder]

Keep making videos man! These are great and theres almost no content in the zenith zoysia niche

[@ZoysiaRUs]

I appreciate it! I’m glad you’ve found them helpful.

Update on the clover plz.

Will do

I only have a peasant push mower. Takes me a lot longer!

[@ZoysiaRUs]

Hey man there ain’t nothing wrong with a push mower. Just be thankful for what you’ve got and be grateful for another day above ground.

[@johnevans6053]

Do you bag the clippings throughout the season? I always heard it is best to mulch the clippings because it will return fertilizer to the lawn. And do you plan to do anything with the pile of clippings?

[@ZoysiaRUs]

No I don’t bag clipping unless I get behind on the mowing and need to do a cleanup pass. I dump the clippings in the woods or the neighbor uses them in a compost bin.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Do you add anything to the lawn in the shaded areas? My Zoysia really struggles where the house shades it half the day.

[@ZoysiaRUs]

I don’t really have any shady areas come summertime.

[@phillip_9]

what would you recommend blending with zenith zoysia in areas that our thin due to shade? I live in Eastern NC

[@ZoysiaRUs]

I’m not sure. Most of the shade tolerant cultivars are thin blade. Not sure how they’ll blend. Check with a local sod supplier that may have some plots planted you can go look at.

[@timothymiddleton6651]

TTTF is the only great option for shaded areas in your region. Carful watering next to trees for long periods, can damage the bark. Zoysias like Zeon look pretty in good sun but tend to look weeker in shade and fill in way slower from traffic. Saint Augustine will be dormant for a bit longer depending on the variety and care.

Breaks over lol!

[@ZoysiaRUs]

Ohh yea! No lawn care for months is nice.

[@phukyew14]

My zoysia is THICK THICK! Pretty sure it was put down as sod in the 70's when my home was built though 😂

[@ZoysiaRUs]

That’s awesome. Mine gets super thick. That’s what i like about it, but it is tough to get scalped and makes a mess if you miss a mow

[@phukyew14]

@@ZoysiaRUs My yard is about 80% zoysia but the perimeter the previous owner put a flower bed there and now it's just weeds. Should I sprig the 20% weed area or seed with zenith zoysia? I was thinking of sprigging it with the zoysia from my backyard.

[@ZoysiaRUs]

@@phukyew14​​⁠I would pull plugs from my existing yard unless it’s a large area and you alreadyvv have zenith. Then you could seed. But plugs are the better/easier option. I’ve never done sprigs.

[@RioTheHitman]

Thats a lot of work sheesh

[@ZoysiaRUs]

That’s all perspective. I’ve don’t a lot worse jobs.

[@RioTheHitman]

@ZoysiaRUs Indeed Ive done this with a push mower and the amount of times I had to empty the mower bag wore me out took me about 6 hours to get things all cleaned up

[@ZoysiaRUs]

@@RioTheHitman I had about that in mine

My zoysia bogs down my honda hrx217. I like it thicc 😂

[@ZoysiaRUs]

Haha The thickness is no joke!

[@unemployed96]

People run off the road looking at that lawn

[@ZoysiaRUs]

Yea, probably right! It is a small road though.I wish they would widen it some.
