Mow your existing lawn and weeds to the lowest setting before planting plugs.- Do not be alarmed if the plugs arrive brown and dry. This is perfectly normal for Zoysia because the plugs tend to revert into a dormant state during the shipping process.
- Do not leave the grass in the shipping container for more than 2-3 days after receipt.

- Make sure the planting area gets at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight for the plugs to thrive.
- Dampen the grass sheets before cutting with a sharp tool of your choice.
- Put the roots of the plug within the hole you have created and make the plugs even with your existing lawn. Only cover the roots, not the entire plug.
- Step on each plug firmly to make sure the roots are in contact with the soil. You will not harm the plugs.

- Using a gentle spray, water the plugs every day for the first 3 weeks after planting. After that initial 3 weeks, you must stop watering completely. Too much water will kill the Zoysia. Continuing to water after 3 weeks is the #1 reason plugs fail.
- Only use water-soluble spray-on products on Zoysia, never dry granular.
- Do not use any weed control on the plugs for at least 45 days after planting.
