Product Information

Zenith Zoysia is in the Japonica family, as is Meyer Zoysia, and is similar in many respects, including blade width and color. It is somewhat less and dense, thus making it easier to mow providing a better opportunity for inter-seeding with Tall Fescue for a year-round color. Zenith grows well in full sun or under light shade, and is presumed to have good cold tolerance. Planted shallow on a newly prepared seedbed and watered frequently, Zenith germinates readily, producing a stand of seedlings in as little as 10 days. Like all Zoysias, it grows and spreads slowly, and therefore seeding rates of 1 to 3 lbs. per 1,000 square feet are recommended.

Zenith is a new Zoysia which looks much like Meyer (Z-52) Zoysia, a blade-width similar to Centipede, many Bluegrasses, and some Ryegrasses, but not as wide as most Fescues. It is not as fine-bladed as Emerald Zoysia. No Emerald Zoysia seed are available, and seed harvested from Meyer do not reproduce a true Meyer. Our test plots clearly demonstrate that Zenith produces a higher-quality turf than imported Zoysia seed.

It is recommended for golf courses (fairways, tees, & roughs), parks, athletic fields and home lawns.

Hancock Seed Company does not sell Zoysia mixed with mulch or any other fillers.

For best results, take a soil sample to determine the pH and fertility of the soil, and adjust as recommended. Once the seed is planted at the suggested seeding rate, water frequently to ensure moisture in the top inch of the soil profile but be cautious not to create runoff. Begin the mowing process when seedlings are approximately 3 in. tall at a cutting height of 2 in. Remember to not remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade when cutting.

Till and level the lawn area, removing sticks, stones and debris. Slope away from house and other buildings. Before tilling, lime according to a soil test to bring soil to pH of 6.0 to 6.5.

Using a drop-type or Cyclone-type spreader, uniformly broadcast on a freshly prepared seedbed, 1 lb. Zenith Zoysia seed per 1,000 sq. ft.. To insure uniformity, spread half the seed in one direction and the remaining half across the area first seeded (half east-to-west, then half north-to-south). Rake very lightly or roll. The seed needs to be in firm contact with the soil, but require light for quick germination and therefore should have very little soil or mulch cover.

Plant during Spring or Summer at a rate of 1 to 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft., or 40 to 80 lbs. per acre. Plant at a depth of 1/8 or less. 

For a quick stand, water as often as necessary, which may be two or three times daily, to keep the surface constantly moist for the first ten days. Thereafter, reduce watering frequency, but water enough to keep good moisture within one inch of the surface.

A second application of a complete fertilizer about 30 days after the seedlings emerge will assist in maturing a turf, and should be all that is needed the first year. Thereafter, a light application after Spring green-up and once in late Summer should suffice. On better soils, little or no regular fertilization is needed to maintain good color and density.

Begin mowing when weed and/or Zoysia seedlings are three inches high and mow as frequently as necessary for good appearance. The best cut-height is 1.5 to 2 in. In full sun, 2 to 2.5 in. In shade, sharp reel mowers produce the most professional looking turf, but an advantage of Zenith is that it will look good when mowed with a rotary cutter if the blade is kept sharp.

Many are satisfied to park their lawn mower and enjoy Zenith's golden brown Winter color. Others want it green and may wish to overseed with Ryegrass or Tall Fescue. To do so, cut one-half in. closer than normal in mid-September, catch the clippings and/or sweep well. Seed and water frequently. Use a heavy seeding ratio because the dense turf will prevent many of the seed from making good soil contact.

Many lawn owners wish to convert to Zenith by simply overseeding. It may or may not work satisfactorily. If you wish to try cut the existing grass as closely as possible. Remove the clippings and as much thatch as practical, and expose as much soil as possible by severe dethatching before seeding. After seeding, water frequently for at least ten consecutive days during warm weather. Using Roundup to kill the existing grass prior to seeding will help.

Do not use any type pre-emergence weed control chemical or weed and feed fertilizer for at least 60 days before seeding Zenith. After seeding do not use any weed control chemical that is not labeled and recommended for Zoysia grasses. 

The most serious disease likely to damage Zenith is Brown Patch (rhizoctonia fungus). Leaf Rust is a lesser problem. Grubs and billbugs (plus moles and crickets in the lower South) are soil-borne insects, which can cause serious damage. Consult your garden store or Extension Service Technician for control recommendations.

Cushion for the pooch’n
Size: Small 24"x18", Color: Brown
I’ve been using the ULIGOTA Dog Bed Crate Pad Plush Soft Crate Bed in my dog’s crate for daily resting and overnight sleep. Right out of the package, it’s clearly designed for comfort first. The plush top feels soft and inviting, and it immediately makes the crate look more like a cozy sleeping space rather than a hard plastic tray. Once fluffed up, it provides a decent layer of cushioning that’s noticeably more comfortable than a bare crate floor or thin mat. In terms of fit, it sits well inside standard crate sizes and doesn’t bunch up too badly once settled. The anti-slip bottom helps keep it in place during normal movement, which is especially helpful for dogs that reposition a lot while sleeping. Comfort-wise, it works well for small to medium dogs that just need light padding. It’s warm and soft enough for everyday use, and most dogs seem to settle into it quickly. However, it’s not a high-density or orthopedic-style bed, so it doesn’t offer much support for dogs that need joint relief or extra structure. Durability is average. It holds up fine under normal sleeping use, but it’s not ideal for heavy chewers or dogs that dig aggressively. Like most plush crate pads, it’s more of a comfort layer than a rugged long-term solution. Pros: very soft plush surface, comfortable for everyday crate use, easy fit in standard crates, non-slip backing helps stability Cons: not chew-resistant, limited support for heavier or senior dogs, cushioning is on the thinner side Overall: a solid, budget-friendly crate pad that improves comfort and warmth significantly over a bare crate, but best suited for calm sleepers rather than heavy chewers or dogs needing orthopedic support.

Soft dog bed perfect for small breeds
Size: Medium 30"x20", Color: White
This dog bed is very soft and fit perfectly in my dogs crate. I like that it came vacuum sealed and was really easy to open and leave out to expand. The material is durable and it is perfect thickness for a small breed dog. My Maltese puppy loves it and has been sleeping so well on it, she is very comfortable. The material is durable and easily washable, I already had to run it through the washing machine. Well worth the price and easy to fit in a crate or small space.

Love these crate mats for traveling and trials
Size: Large 36"x24", Color: White
I just bought my fourth Uligota crate mat. My dogs love them. I use them in their car kennels. The seem to really enjoy the ride better with the soft cushion. I wash them often. The first ones I bought 2 years ago are as good as new after washing and putting in the dryer.
