Zoysia Plugs - 50 Large Grass Plugs - Drought Tolerant, Low Maintenance EZPLug

The plugs were delivered in good health and neatly packaged. Each plug is in its own spot in a plastic crate. They are easy to remove and plant. I highly recommend that you purchase the plugger that goes with them. It made they job of planting them exceptionally easy and quick.

The plugs arrived over a week earlier than expected and they were gorgeous. We opened the boxes and set the trays in the yard and watered for two days before we could plant. Planting was ridiculously easy and took no time at all. Our soil pH was ok so we set straight in without adding nutrients. A little sandy in that area though. Hubby eyeballed the first tray and planted too far apart but I filled in with the second. Most of the plugs are now approx 12 inches apart. We planted in an area we wanted to test first, reason for only two trays. Near an oak tree that gets direct and filtered sun from around noon until 6. We were not sure if it got enough sun given the coverage of that tree, and there are several other trees in our yard that posed the same threat. We watered every morning between 6 and 7 for three solid weeks and are approaching the end of week 4, we have watered every other day this week and for shorter duration (15 mins compared to 45). We intend to mow this weekend for the first time prior to planting the four additional trays we are expecting, since I do need to fill in a few more in this area. We have not lost a single plug, they are all very green still and most are spreading. We have 5 or 6 looking a little puny but they were deliberately placed near weeds and roots to test for strength. Still green, but possibly suffering. The weeds are growing with all the watering and I will now begin pulling them but I left them alone since realistically they will appear until these have filled in and I wanted real expectations for maintenance needs. We have ordered four more trays expected this week to squeak in before it's too late to plant. We live 25 minutes SE of the Raleigh in NC, have had very little rain since we planted these, and a great many days exceeding 95 degrees. These little suckers are survivors. Pictures taken three weeks apart so difficult to see a difference but enough in real life for my mailman to get excited about them after returning from a weeks vacation. Update April 8, 2018: It’s been a weird winter with not much spring yet but last week suddenly almost all of the plugs turned green. There are about a fourth of them struggling, but they are in a high runoff area but are slowly greening up. I’ll post more pictures after the last freeze is behind us. Very pleased to see them at this point. Ordering more next week.

I got these plugs to help fill in a northern lawn that would always weaken and thin out during the summer allowing weeds to take hold. There are certain parts of my lawn that aren't shaded and get a lot of sun. So my requirements were to have the new grass survive these conditions and both fill in and blend in to the existing lawn. The plugs arrived green and healthy and they were easy to plant. I had read that some people think Zyosia is a good stand in for Fescue lawns due to more similar leaf structure. This is true, but Zyosia is also lighter in color something which may not be as noticeable when comparing online. I've also attached an image juxtaposing a Tahoma 31 plug at the top, the Zyosia plug at the bottom, and the current Fescue lawn around them. The Tahoma 31's color blends in better despite having finger leaves. I guess we'll see how it goes.

I have in the passed order zoysia grass from another company. My husband and I were shocked and how green the grass was. We thought it was fantastic that the grass plugs were individually in pockets. It was extremely easy to plant and maintain. We liked it so much we ordered more. Zoysia is great because it is easy to maintain. Many of are neighbors have trouble growing their lawns with grass seed. We keep telling them to buy zoysia grass plugs. Our lawn is so much easier to take care of. We needed some plugs for our back yard. Our front is completely covered with zoysia and green and growing.

I live in Maryland so these plugs arrive to me in one day. I have ordered 250 plugs from this company and all are doing very well. I initially planted 50 plugs which are growing extraordinarily well. I have now ordered their turf product and will deploy them soon. Quality of plugs is very good, lots of soil depth. I have clay soils so I spend some time with proper soil amendments, coco peat, topsoil, pumice. You need a good base. Weather has been cool and wet. June 11th, 2017 UPDATE: Here is an update photo. I removed the seed cover from the original photo. In the third photo, you can see so called "super plugs" from Amazoy (Maryland company) Meyer Zoysia product. Never again. I'll keep buying the Zenith Zoysia from Zoysiaplug.com. Great place. June 13th 2017 Update: I planted my plugs close and even sewed Zoysia seed in between, I didn't want to wait years so that's why I planted them 6-8 inches, staggered spacing. These plugs are just fantastic. The root structure is mature and many of them have runners already formed. Each tray is in a separate box so they don't stack trays in one big box. They strap each box together which makes the package even stronger. Do not hesitate they have the best quality Zoysia plugs available. August 2018 Update In may, I replanted a few areas that did not do well over the winter. I had some low spots and this grass does not like to be flooded over the winter. The newly planted plugs are already filling in nicely. I also bought a used reel mower and have been using this to cut the zoysia this summer. I just placed an order for the front yard and Fedex messed up the shipping. Took over a week to arrive. Zoysia plug replaced the plugs free of charge. Great customer service. Great product. Continue to be impressed with the quality.
