Zoysiagrass lawns are most successfully started with zoysia grass plugs (small chunks of sod). Zoysiagrass can also be started through seeding, but the varieties that are currently available don't have the same quality in texture, growth, color and hardiness of the grass plugs.
This site, Zoysia Grass Florida, provides information on zoysia grass plugs - both benefits and concerns of other users.
If you have a shady area in your yard, you are probably looking for shade tolerant zoysia grass to plant in that area. Although zoysia is good for shady areas, all grasses do need some sunlight during the day in order to grow.
From my perspective, using zoysia grass plugs is a more effective and cost saving way to start your zoysia lawn.

The use of zoysia grass plugs has grown in popularity due to the fact that once rooted, the grass requires very little maintenance. This site will take a look at why you should be using quality grass plugs over seeds as well as the benefits of zoysia grass for your yard.
Zoysia plugs are small 1" chuncks of grass that you pop into the ground then let them spread. You create the holes in the ground with a "plugger" or a drill (depending on how hard the ground it). You then place the plug into the hole.
I have probably heard about zoysia grass and are asking the question question ….do zoysia grass plugs really work for difficult to growing situations?
