why empire zoysia?

Empire Zoysia is your go-to turf if you're looking for a lush, stylish lawn that’s as low maintenance as it is good-looking. With its fine leaf, deep green colour, and slow, tidy growth, it’s perfect for front yards, investment properties, or any space where you want that clean, manicured look without all the mowing.

It’s a popular pick across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and beyond thanks to its ability to handle heat, humidity, and wear—all while staying soft underfoot and resistant to pests.

Best of all? It grows slower than couch or buffalo, so you'll spend less time mowing and edging, and more time enjoying your lawn.

Still not sure if Empire Zoysia is the one for you? Reach out here and we’ll match your yard to the perfect turf.

If Empire Zoysia was a person…

It’d be that guy that grows just enough stubble to make it look like a fashion statement, without actually ever properly grooming. He’s super easy to get along with and is the whole package: smart, sexy and loveable.

Empire will: scrub up well when his girlfriends invited him along to an event.  

Empire won’t: borrow your RM’s without asking.

Caring for your empire zoysia lawn

Empire Zoysia is easy to maintain, but a little care keeps it looking premium:

Mow every 10-14 days in summer, or less if you like a longer leaf.

Use a slow-release fertiliser twice a year (spring and autumn) to maintain colour and thickness.

Water deeply and infrequently to support root development and drought resistance.

Keep thatch under control by mowing regularly in the warmer months and de-thatching if it becomes spongy.

Empire Zoysia FAQs

  • It handles light to moderate shade, needing around 5 hours of sunlight daily. If your lawn gets less sun than that, you may want to consider a buffalo variety like Sir Walter.

  • Yes, Empire is soft to walk on, holds up well to foot traffic, and is less prone to damage than finer zoysia varieties. It won’t recover quite as quickly from heavy wear or dog wee burn, but it's a solid choice for everyday family use.

  • That’s one of its biggest advantages! Empire Zoysia grows slower, meaning less mowing and edging—perfect if you want a great-looking lawn without constant upkeep.

  • Yes, though spring and summer are best for quick establishment, Empire Zoysia can be laid in winter as long as it's kept moist while rooting in.

  • Empire Zoysia has moderate thatch production. A good lawn reno come spring will keep it healthy and get rid of any sponginess that lies underneath.
