Good with Foot Traffic
Empire Zoysia™ is a slightly coarse grass which we recommend for domestic and commercial lawns as well as recreational areas. This variety has good shade tolerance and handles a reasonable amount of traffic. It also keeps its colour well in winter but does seed a lot in summer if not mown for a number of weeks. That said, Empire Zoysia™ does grow slower than some other Zoysia grasses and may require less maintenance than Blue and Green Couches. It is important to use sharp mower blades as leaves may otherwise tear or be damaged. We highly recommend Empire Zoysia™ for roadsides, domestic lawns, communal areas, golf course tee-offs, parks as well as schools and unit complexes
