When you want it to look like you spend hours every week maintaining your lawn, but you’re actually at the footy with mates, Empire Zoysia is your grass! And it’s just as lush as a 70’s style shagpile carpet!
Empire Zoysia needs around 4-5 hours of sunlight each day, mowing once per week in the hotter months, and will look and feel great whether it’s mown short or kept a little longer.
It is a slower grower being a Zoysia which means that it has lower maintenance requirements, yet remains quite durable in higher traffic areas. Fertiliser and a pre-emergent twice per year, and a weekly watering is all it needs to stay looking great.
FAQs about empire zoysia Grass?
-
At least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day.
-
Being a Zoysia, Empire is a slower grower. You can get away with mowing it in two to three week intervals, but it must be consistent. If mowing infrequently, you may scalp and damage the grass, which will take much longer to repair than other varieties, and may cause other issues. The ideal length is between 15 and 30mm, but can be as long as 50mm if you desire a longer look.
-
Empire Zoysia is incredibly drought resistant, and doesn’t need much watering. The equivalent of about 2cm per week should do it (which the weather might do for you anyway). Keep an eye out on dried out or curled leaf blades.
-
Fertilising requirements depend on your usability, and mowing schedule. If your Empire is in a high traffic area, and you’re mowing it regularly, you may need up to 3 fertiliser applications per year (summer, autumn and spring).
If your Empire is in an area with little usage, one to two applications should do.

Empire Zoysia Grass: The Underdog of Aussie Lawns
Alright, folks, it’s time to shine a light on the unsung hero of Aussie gardens – Empire Zoysia. This turf is like the quiet bloke at the BBQ who ends up being the life of the party. Not only does it have a cracking green look that’ll make your neighbour’s lawn green with envy, but it’s as lush as a shaggy carpet.
Why Empire Zoysia is a Bit of Alright
Slow on the Grow: Unlike that mate who can’t sit still, Empire Zoysia takes it easy, growing slow and steady. That means less mowing and more time for the important things in life (like perfecting your BBQ skills).
Watering Wit: It’s not a big drinker, but when it does fancy a sip, make sure it’s a good one. Deep, infrequent watering keeps Empire Zoysia content.
Feels Nice, Looks Nice: With its fine texture and deep green colour, Empire Zoysia is a bit of eye candy for your garden that feels just as good underfoot.
Giving Your Empire Zoysia the Royal Treatment
Feeding the Beast: A little feed in spring and autumn keeps it fighting fit and looking sharp, ready to impress the neighbours and the in-laws.
Cutting Back: Because it’s a laid-back grower, you won’t need to mow it as often. But when you do, a trim to keep it tidy is all it needs.
Breathing Room: Every now and then, give it a poke (aerate) to help the roots breathe easy. Happy roots mean a happy lawn.
Who’s Going to Love Empire Zoysia?
Spot on For:
Anyone keen on a low-maintenance lawn that doesn’t skimp on looks.

Might Not Be for:
If you love the weekly mow, Empire Zoysia’s slow growth might leave you a bit bored.
