To do the plugs or is it full sheets of sod? I would think it would be better in the spring, because it will be going dormant for the winter. you have to make sure you plant it early enough before any frosts

We have zoysia and I think we did it in the fall. We did plugs and took few years before the whole yard is covered. You can check the yard by checking the threads that i started.I am in the middle of a big project. You will like zoysia because it disease and drought resistant. DH mows it once a month. Make sure you have a good dirt/ soil. we put 5 track loads of soil before planting. Good luck!! Belle

Zoysia roots in best when soil temperatures are above 60 degrees so it's best to do it in mid-spring or later.
