Northeastern Tennessee near the Virginia border.

Zoysia should grow there. It's in the "transition zone" but it should
go. Zoysia is dense, wear resistant, drought resistant and will take
over anything in its path. Great stuff but if you have flower beds,
they need a *good* border. If it's kept healthy, you'll never see
another weed. Keep it cut or you're going to need a sharp sickle.
It's dense stuff.


Thanks for the suggestion. A neighbor down the street used that. It
grew fine, but in the winter turns brown unlike the grasses on the
other lawns.



That's an advantage to living in the north. The lawn turns white in
November and stays that way.


Not mine, it stays a dull green, unless you mean snow. ;(


That's the stuff. The path to the shed really looks like crap in the
spring not that the rest is all that great.
