I have a gorgeous strip of zoyzia up the center of my driveway. It is green and strong except for e 2 foot long section where it passes under a 10 foot stone arch. It is thin there.

Any hope? Grow lights under the archway?

Yeah thats a tough fix. If its Empire Zoysia it really really wants the sun. I have a corner spot shaded for about 60% of the day and its quite thin

It’s Meyer Zoyzia. Would it be totally crazy to overseed just the small thin spot with tall fescue??

I’ve only dealt with empire, I know some people have had real success with zeon with shade areas……

Just a thought to try some zeon plugs to test it out.
