How to Keep Your Sod Healthy as Temperatures Rise
May 2, 2025
When the summer heat hits North Carolina, your lawn can either thrive or struggle. Scorched patches, thirsty grass, and constant mowing can make lawn care feel like a full-time job. But what if you could enjoy a lush, green lawn all summer—without all the stress?
At Southern Sodgrass and Landscape Supply, we deliver only the best, and that’s why we’re proud to offer Zeon Zoysia, a premium turfgrass that’s tailor-made for North Carolina summers.
Whether you’re in Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, or anywhere across Central NC, Zeon Zoysia is the smart choice for a lawn that stays beautiful, even when the temperatures soar.
What Is Zeon Zoysia?
Zeon Zoysia is a fine-bladed, warm-season grass known for its soft texture, vibrant green color, and exceptional resilience. It’s become a favorite among homeowners, landscapers, and even golf course designers—and for good reason.
Unlike other zoysia varieties, Zeon is both shade-tolerant and drought-resistant, giving it a perfect balance of beauty and strength. It’s no wonder it’s often called the “barefoot grass” thanks to its soft, carpet-like feel.
Built for the Heat
Let’s face it—North Carolina summers are no joke. Temperatures routinely climb into the 90s, and rainfall can be unpredictable. That’s where Zeon Zoysia shines.
Why It Thrives in Hot Weather:
- Drought Tolerance: Zeon’s deep root system allows it to survive longer periods without water. This is ideal during dry spells or watering restrictions.
- Heat Resilience: Zeon stays green even under direct sun and extreme temperatures.
- Low Evaporation: Its thick growth helps retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for constant watering.
In short, Zeon Zoysia handles North Carolina’s summer heat like a pro, while staying lush and inviting.
Less Water, Less Worry
With water conservation becoming more important (and expensive), Zeon Zoysia offers serious advantages.
Compared to cool-season grasses, Zeon needs up to 50% less water once established. That means:
- Fewer irrigation costs
- Less environmental impact
- A lawn that bounces back quicker after dry spells
It’s the smart choice for both your lawn and your wallet.
Sun & Shade? No Problem.
One of Zeon Zoysia’s standout features is its ability to thrive in both sun and partial shade. This makes it ideal for North Carolina lawns that have a mix of sunny and tree-covered areas—something many other warm-season grasses struggle with.
So whether you have a yard surrounded by pines in Greensboro or a shaded patio lawn in Chapel Hill, Zeon gives you a consistent, green look across your entire property.
A Lawn That Feels as Good as It Looks
Some grasses look nice but feel rough underfoot. Not Zeon.
Its fine blades and dense growth give it a soft, luxurious feel. It’s perfect for:
- Barefoot summer days
Pets that love to lounge outside - Kids who play hard in the yard
And thanks to its density, Zeon naturally resists weeds—meaning fewer chemicals and less maintenance.
Low Maintenance, High Reward
Want a beautiful lawn without constant upkeep? Zeon is one of the lowest-maintenance sod options available.
- Slower vertical growth = less mowing
- Thick canopy = better weed resistance
- Minimal thatch buildup = less time spent dethatching
That means more time enjoying your lawn, and less time working on it.
