Cultivate a lush-looking lawn
For the past 30 years, David Doguet has worked to develop a better zoysiagrass.
As the founder of Bladerunner Farms in tiny Poteet, Texas, with a population of 2,880, Doguet runs the largest privately owned zoysiagrass research facility in the world. His company is responsible for Zeon Zoysia, the top-selling zoysiagrass in the United States.
And now Bladerunner Farms has introduced Stadium Zoysia™, a brand-new variety that’s causing tremendous buzz in the turfgrass industry.
“Bladerunner Farms has a reputation for sustainable grasses that require less water, less fertilizer and less maintenance than other turf varieties,” comments Sean Fong, president of Hawaiian Turfgrass in Mililani. “As their newest release, Stadium Zoysia hits all the targets.”
The darkest green
For starters, this finely textured grass grows a darker, deeper, more brilliant green than any zoysiagrass on the market. It has a rapid rate of lateral spread, and its deep root system and extensive rhizomes make for superior wear tolerance and faster recovery, even in dormant turf.
“Stadium Zoysia is extremely heat- and drought-tolerant and can tolerate temperatures in a variety of climates, from low desert to coastal regions,” Fong reports. “Full sun is best, though it will actually tolerate a little frost.”
Durable and dense, Stadium Zoysia wears well and can handle heavy foot traffic. With a wide range of mowing heights and low fertilizer inputs, this grass is increasingly popular on golf courses and athletic fields around the country.
“We recommend weekly mowing, with a reel mower,” Fong says. “Stadium can be cut at different mower heights, from a quarter inch to one inch. The longer the leaf blade, the darker green it will appear.”
Easy, fast online ordering
Available exclusively in Hawaii from Hawaiian Turfgrass, Stadium Zoysia or one of the company’s other gorgeous varieties may be ordered online at
hawaiianturfgrass.com. Packed with information, the state-of-the-art website has everything you need to make a properly informed decision about the best grass for your lawn.
“We’ve also included an area calculator that uses satellite mapping to help determine your lawn’s square footage,” Fong says. “It takes guesswork out of the calculation, and you don’t have to go outside with a tape measure.”
