several years ago, my husband laid a zoysia sod lawn. He weeds and feeds it religiously and it is beautiful.

This weekend a friend was trying to help and mowed for us. Sadly he scalped more than a few spots.

DH is livid! He's worked so hard to maintain this lawn and now he's afraid it's going to die! We raked all the grass clippings and we've been watering heavily.

So, the questions are 1. are we overwatering? 2. what else can we do?

HELP!!!

Zoysia is one of the most hardy grass plants there is, Longy is right, dang near bullet proof, it will grow back. While zoysia is extremely drought tolorant it will take over watering for a while with little to no problems, however it will thin it out over a long period of time.
Personally I hate the stuff, and most people up here in the north grow to hate it too, after a couple of years of having it.
In this zone it is the last grass to green up in the spring, and the first to go brown in the fall.
