Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lobo Zoysia grass?
Lobo™ Zoysiagrass is a warm-season turfgrass developed by North Carolina State University for strong performance with reduced maintenance. It was selected for rapid establishment, persistence, turf quality, and adaptability across a range of climates.
What are the main benefits of Lobo Zoysia sod?
Lobo Zoysia offers a medium-fine texture, rapid establishment, strong stress tolerance, improved fall color retention, earlier spring green-up, rapid injury recovery, and dependable turf quality with less watering, mowing, and fertilizing.
Is Lobo Zoysia a low-maintenance grass?
Yes. Lobo was developed and tested specifically for low-input conditions. Research trials evaluated it with minimal irrigation, little or no mowing, and no fertilizer, herbicide, fungicide, or insecticide applications.
How much water does Lobo Zoysia need?
During the active growing season, Lobo Zoysia generally needs about one inch of water per week from rainfall and irrigation combined. Deep, less frequent watering is preferred over frequent shallow watering.
What is the best mowing height for Lobo Zoysia?
Lobo Zoysia should generally be maintained between 0.5 and 1.5 inches. During summer, avoid removing more than one-third of the leaf blade in a single mowing.
Does Lobo Zoysia establish quickly?
Yes. Rapid establishment is one of Lobo Zoysia’s key characteristics. Trials showed strong expansion and ground coverage, helping the turf form a dense surface more quickly than many traditional zoysiagrass varieties.
Is Lobo Zoysia drought tolerant?
Lobo Zoysia is designed to maintain turf quality under limited irrigation and stressful growing conditions. It performed well in low-input trials across warm-humid, warm-temperate, and hot-arid climates.
Does Lobo Zoysia resist weeds?
Its dense, aggressive growth can help reduce opportunities for weeds to become established. Proper mowing, irrigation, and seasonal weed control are still important for maintaining a healthy lawn.
Is Lobo Zoysia resistant to disease?
Research materials indicate that Lobo has demonstrated resistance to leaf spot fungi and good performance against large patch disease. Proper watering and seasonal maintenance are still important because no turfgrass is completely disease-proof.
Where can Lobo Zoysia sod be used?
Lobo Zoysia can be used for residential lawns, commercial landscapes, golf course fairways, roadsides, and other projects that need attractive turf with reduced maintenance requirements. Its growing zone includes much of the southern United States and portions of the transition zone.
Does Lobo Zoysia stay green in winter?
Lobo is a warm-season grass and may become dormant during extended cold weather. It is known for improved fall color retention and earlier spring green-up compared with some other zoysiagrass varieties.
Is Lobo Zoysia available as seed?
Lobo Zoysia is vegetatively propagated and is typically installed as sod, plugs, or sprigs rather than consumer seed.
