Hello I am a new homeowner, have never planted grass before, and the house we’ve just bought has been empty for about 5 years. We’re in south central utah, very dy, hot, and sunny. I was thinking about the Zoysia grass from Zoysia Farms, but after reading this board, I’m not sure. Can anyone help with ideas for “Growing Grass for Dummies”!!!???!!! Thanks! ~Alana
