Best Answer

Zoysia grass is a combination of several different species of creeping grasses which are usually native to Asia. This type of grass does very well in the coastal areas or in the grasslands. This particular type of grass is very resistant to high traffic so it is most commonly used on Golf courses. It is not recommended to use this type of grass if you live in one of the northern states such as Minnesota where they get full blown winters with lots of cold and snow. It tends to start turning yellow as soon as the cooler weather hits. If you live in a warmer state with mild winters and your lawn is going to have lots of traffic (lots of children playing on lawn, pets, etc) then this is a grass you could consider for your lawn.
