Albert Valley Turf grows Empire Zoysia Turf at our farm at Tamborine. Empire Zoysia™ has become one of the most popular lawn turf varieties Australia wide for excellent properties and its highly desirable look. Empire Zoysia Turf grows quickly across the ground for better wear tolerance but grows slowly vertically limiting the amount of mowing required immensely.

Empire Zoysia maintenance

Resercher’s have found Empire Zoysia needs one third to half the mowing requirements compared to Kikuyu and Couch grasses. It also requires less edging and is a safer choice for steep slopes and retaining walls as its deep root system strengthens the soil significantly. Empire Zoysia has a huge rhizomes system which make the strongest and easy to handle turf slabs as well as providing unmatched survivability.

It has a medium size leaf blade, which rolls up on itself under dry conditions, exposing less leaf surface when in contact with dry air. This is all part of its drought tolerant mechanism which make it a perfect lawn variety to have in South-East Queensland during warm humid conditions.

Grub Resistance

Another great quality is its resistance to Army Worm and Web Worm which are types of lawn grub that can severely damage your lawn if left untreated. It also has the ability to out-compete weeds as well as resist certain weed types making Empire Zoysia Turf a fantastic lawn to choose if you are looking to do minimal maintenance.
