Amazoy Meyer Z-52 zoysia grass is the most popular of all zoysia varieties because of its many positive qualities. Introduced from Korea and developed in Maryland by the United States Department of Agriculture as a superior lawn grass, Amazoy zoysia is both winter hardy and drought resistant.
The dense, soft carpet produced by Amazoy sod chokes out summer weeds while reducing labor, chemical, and irrigation expense. The green color of Meyer Z-52 was rated the best of all zoysia grasses tested in the mid-Atlantic area by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program.
Golf courses have used Meyer Z-52 zoysia on fairways, tees, and bunker surrounds to provide an exceptional "lie" for better shots. Golf course superintendents report significantly lower maintenance costs compared to cool-season turf grasses. The dense turf resists mechanical injury from athletic use as well as insects and pathogens. Its extraordinary attributes make Amazoy sod the hardiest zoysia grass for the widest range of growing conditions.
