oh no, you may have started something bad here.

I have preached zoysia forever but it all depends on the person and what you like.

Maybe you should rephrase and ask what the good points and bad points are of both them and weigh them out.

here's a few

Zoysia looks damn great when it's healthy
Zoysia goes dormant instead of dieing in drought.


St Aug recovers much faster than zoysia
St aug greens up faster in the spring

Zoysia is much easier to maintain and is tolerant of most herbicides unlike St Aug.

Depends on Your Climate and Site. If you've got
warm and wet climate and lots of shade St. A is probably the way to go.
Hot dry and mostly sunny you probably should stick to Zoysia. All bets are off
though if you choose the wrong variety as most are
suited to one or two soil types and climates.
