I sodded my yard last May with El Toro and it’s still brown. I left it about 3-4 in tall over the winter untill last Monday. I notice it wasn’t growing, so I mowed it down to 1in with a tri-plex mower. I notice that after I mowed the soil was wet. I live in Ky. I believe that zoysia is suppose to come out of dormant but on the golf courses there bermuda and zoysia is out of dormant. Now that I mowed my yard at 1in to let the sun get to the soil to let it dry out and to warm the soil up, will my yard be ok. It looked great all last summer. I put down some pre-emerge with 21-0-21 in it. Last night I put down some 10-10-10 to help it out some more. Is there something wrong with my grass or will it be ok once the weather warms up? About 3 weeks ago we had nice weather but for the past two weeks it been cool and windy. I need some advice. I called two sods farms this week and they said that it should be ok, but I want some more opinions. Please tell me what yall thinks, even if it’s not what I want to hear. Thanks
