What kind of fertilizer did you use and when did you apply it? I just installed zoysia last year.

How did u do it

I'm about to have empire installed in my yard. I read different opinions on mower type, ie: reel and rotary. Issue for me is, no one in my area really supports power reel mowers, nor am I sure someone can sharpen the blades. Is a rotary mower ok?

[@TheFlowerGuys]

It really depends on what you height you want to mow the lawn at whether you need a reel or rotary mower. We have great results mowing Empire between 1.5"-2" with a rotary mower. Anything lower than that would be an issue for a rotary mower. If you go shorter than that you for sure are going to have to cut the grass twice a week in the summer. We are religious about running sharp blades on our machines so that keeps the quality high. I had a golf course superintendent do a consult for us last year on an Empire property and he said the rotary was cutting it fine. I wouldn't personally go through the hassle of a reel mower.

thank you. I have a commercial Hustler mower, but I plan on selling it since the most of the yard will be landscaped and has a 40x30 pool with tons of travertine. So, a push mower cutting at 1.5" is what I am after,

[@BBQBOY76]

thank you for taking the time to reply. I will give the rostary a whirl at 1.5"

I like my Heinz 57 variety lawn . Fertilizer and some insecticide once a year and water only during severe drought . Nice ! Cheap !
