The Zoysiagrass Standard
When selecting a turfgrass for a home lawn, commercial
landscape, or park, there are many factors to consider.
These include maintenance requirements, potential water
restrictions, shade and foot traffic. El Toro zoysia was
developed with these questions in mind. It is the product
of the nationally renowned Turfgrass Research Center at
the University of California - Riverside. Since its release,
El Toro has provided homeowners and turfgrass managers alike
with a low maintenance, high quality turfgrass. El Toro has
the unique ability to shut itself down in drought situations
and quickly recovers when irrigation resumes. This makes it
an ideal choice for areas facing water restrictions. It grows
very well in the shade where bermuda grass cannot survive.
And because it produces less thatch than other zoysia varieties,
it can mowed with a rotary mower. El Toro maintains its green
color well into the fall, but can also be overseeded with
perennial rye grass to provide a lush, green lawn year round.
