Zoysia Sod Plugs - Large 3" x 3" Plugs - 18 Count Tray - Drought, Salt & Shade Tolerant Turf Grass

When reading reviews I find it helpful when reviews contain the location: I am in Northwest Houston and I’m trying an experiment with the zoysia grass. My yard has pretty decent top soil but like most of Houston I also have slippery grey bayou goo clay under neath most of my yard. We have same weather as most of Florida but we don’t have their sandy soil. I used the 3X3X3 yard butler sod cutter for this project. I have a couple places that are high traffic areas that Saint Augustine will not grow. 95% of my yard is fairly healthy and vigorous St Augustine. However in the 5% area have a huge problem with various weeds in this area including nutsedge. In this test area I’ve noticed that the plugs I planted in more shallow (2.5 inch )hole have really taken off over the past 10 days the ones I planted at ground level 3 inches deep aren’t growing as aggressively. I also noticed that these plugs Come with REALLY sandy soil. The reason I had to plant them higher was due to a hidden concrete barrier for my Pavestone patio. I was concerned that the shallow hole wouldn’t work but to my amazement the runners have taken root and the plugs seam much bigger in 10 days! We also had non stop rain from the beta storm so that probably helped. The barefoot test. While my plugs a still taking root I want to say: This stuff is much nicer to walk on than St Augustine. I hope it spreads! The big questions I now have are the following: 1. Will this grass suffocate weeds like nutsedge and others? 2. Will it be able to compete with wild Bermuda grass and St Augustine? 3. Will it look bad when we get a cold snap? I figured i would try it out in a small area to see what happens. Based on your feedback I will try and update this review. Hope you found this useful.

Shipping was really fast. 2 day The plugs are really healthy looking and are in great condition. I highly recommend these plugs!!!!

Looks great healthy, soil still moist. Plus arrived early thanks

The four stars is probably my fault. User error. I’m not a gardener and I had a little trouble getting them to take. Of course I’m in South Florida where it was hot and dry so I maybe didn’t water them enough.

They were intact but the grass was so long with lots of old dead grass that they left huge unsightly "bubbles" when planted. Picture shows what I mean. These will be able to be trimmed off eventually but the quality is not as good as some others I have bought on Amazon. The price is okay and they arrived quickly.

I am sorry that I purchased these plugs, even though reviews seem fine. They do not thrive, at all, in NM, for the soil has too much clay in it, I guess. I treated them with care, did not let them dry out, but they simply did not make it, at all. Too expensive to experiment with, I believe.

The plugs were damp, came quick and I'm good condition. I would but from them again.

This was the second time I purchased these plugs. They have always arrived healthy and thrived after planting them.
