Need to plant some grass

[speck-chaser]

I have a test stand of zoysia in my yard, and it is beautiful after 3 yrs. I would go st aug before centipede. Centipede is pretty when it is healthy,but is finicky. St Aug is good and tough. If you have st aug already, it should come back up around the edges as long as you dont add too much dirt. You may want to get a few pallets and just strip sod your new dirt and let it spread from there.

So do you think that since I still have St Augustine in the back yard that it will creep onto the house pad?

I'm looking at that zoysia, I like alot of the stuff I'm reading about it. Can you plant that by seeding or does it need to be sod?
