Zoysia. This is my second Zoysia lawn and I love the grass. I thought the Emerald Zoysia was mch prettier than the El Toro that I put in this time. It also seemed to avoid weed infestation better. If you are in a cooler climate, use the cool season grasses such as fescues. I haven't been able to convince the people around me here in North Carolina because they don't like the tan lawn in the winter (no mowing), but they pay for it in the summer when the try to keep it alive.

found them to be completely trustworthy and reasonable. I deal with the wake Forest site, but assume the company is the same at both sites.

that was moss. It almost looked like grass, but he didn't need to cut it. The moss lawn was his way of coping with a lawn that would not grow because tof the shade. You're right , they do make beautiful spaces.

going to look at aeration and sand to break up the clay and make the soil more permeable under the sod. I appreciate the information about permatill.
