The proven all-rounder. The “barefoot grass”: soft, dense and adaptable from full sun to moderate shade.
Zeon Zoysia is a premium, fine-bladed variety often called the “barefoot grass” for its soft, cushiony texture. It thrives in both sunny and moderately shaded areas, making it one of the most adaptable zoysias available. Its dense growth suppresses weeds naturally, and its emerald green color gives landscapes a polished, high-end appearance — perfect for golf courses, high-end lawns, or resort settings.

Zeon was used at the 2016 Olympic Golf Course in Rio, Brazil, one of the biggest projects our grasses have been featured on anywhere in the world.
It is also the most-planted variety on our U.S. project list, on courses from Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Coore-Crenshaw.
RESEARCH
Through Lawn Solutions Australia and the Sport Turf Research Institute (STRI), our zoysias are in a study for use on Wimbledon grass courts. The study currently ranks Trinity #1 and Zeon #2 out of multiple grass varieties.

Our most-planted variety: 38 projects across the U.S., from Arkansas to California and the Carolinas.
