EMPIRE Turf® is a Zoysia® grass that has truly raised the bar for warm season turf grass. EMPIRE sod combines soft to the touch feel with lush green color and fine, tight blade growth. Visually, EMPIRE is an extremely attractive turf grass for any landscaping job. Homeowners and Property Managers also appreciate its many maintenance, environmental, and cost saving advantages. For more information about how to care for EMPIRE Turf® visit the EMPIRE Turf® Best Maintenance Practices page. (NOTE: All links will open in a new window)

You might not expect a turf grass as soft as EMPIRE to be so strong, but this incredible Zoysia® grass accomodates a variety of activities without suffering extensive wear and tear. EMPIRE Turf® is as hardy as it is attractive, and has a deep, thick root structure that makes it more drought tolerant than other varieties of Zoysia grass, once established. In addition EMPIRE’s slower vertical growth and natural chinch bug and chemical resistances mean that your lawn will require less maintenance, mowing, and water than other types of warm season turf grass. An EMPIRE Turf® lawn that has been naturalized to the local climate requires minimal irrigation to remail healthy and thriving. For more information about the attributes of EMPIRE Turf ® grass visit our EMPIRE Turf ® Characteristics page.

Reduced maintenance needs and durability are EMPIRE’s hallmarks. EMPIRE Zoysia grass was originally developed in Brazil, and thrives in both harsh tropical climates such as Southern Florida as well as more temperate regions as far north as Washington and Pennsylvania. EMPIRE Turf® is one of the few grasses rated to perform well in all zones, and it can thrive in varying soils and climatic conditions. Visit EMPIRE’s Where It Will Grow page to see a detailed map of the areas across the United States where EMPIRE Turf ® will thrive.

Durable enough for professional use, EMPIRE Zoysia is also a favorite of golf courses, theme parks, master planned communities, office complexes and other commercial areas. Homeowner’s and Landscape Professionals agree that EMPIRE Turf ® is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a beautiful and easy to maintain turf grass.

TESTIMONIALS

This is a great grass. It’s shade tolerant, heat resistant and drought resistant. We can bring it up to an inch and a half and cut it with a regular rotary mower. We have had great response to EMPIRE from our owners. They like the look and feel if it because it is similar to the types of grass used in the north, where many of our homeowners are from.

I love this grass. When we started looking for an alternative to St. Augustinegrass, the first thing that attracted me to EMPIRE was esthetics. We are trying to create the aura of backyard Americana and I fell in love with the appearance of EMPIRE before we even began to evaluate its performance.

Kevin Clingerman, Landscape Manager, Ginn Golf

My wife and I are very satisfied with our Empire Zoysia grass that has been down for almost 5 at years now. We find it to require very little fertilizer, is growing well under the trees, as well as in the full sun. We love the fact that the lawn does not have to be mowed every week in the summer and still has the look of a well kept lawn. The grass does not grow straight up as fast as other types of grass does, but seems to spread out, rather than up! We would recommend Empire Zoysia to anyone.

Ray Edwards, Mt. Dora, FL

We put EMPIRE Turf in two of our theme parks in Orlando, and it’s doing great. The grass is visually appealing and it holds up well to the traffic. We’re very pleased.

EMPIRE Turf is striking to look at and feel. We’ve featured it in three of our shows.
