Hi all. I have a question I’m sure folks have asked before, but I must be slow, so please have patience.
All the stuff I read online tells me that my Empire Zoysia should be maintained at 1-2″.
What they never say is how to measure that to make sure you’re doing it right.
Tonight I plucked a full sprig out, roots and all, and set it up against a measuring tape.
Based on the image below, what would 1-2″ look like?
Does it grow from the very bottom above the root like any other plant? Is that where I measure 1-2″ from?
Here’s what the sprig looks like against a tape measure:
Thanks for your help!

Just put a measuring tape or ruler on the soil and read the height of the lawn against it.

i dont know how anyone maintains zoysia at that height…any time i cut it less than 3.5-4″ it looks terrible.
