This is a review on how to plant a lawn from plugs using the ProPlugger. I will be harvesting DIY grass plugs from my existing Zenith Zoysia lawn and transplanting them to a bare section of my lawn. Once established, they will take root and spread to fill in the bare area. This is a much cheaper alternative to seeding or sodding.
I bought zosia plugs back in 2005 and planted it and then kept taking plugs from it and now have covered most of my 3 acres with it and I love it . Does not need cut as much and does not need all that fertilizer except when you want it to spread more and extremey drought tolerant . It does get brown for about 2 to 3 months in the winter but who cares . I live in southside va and we have hardly had any rain this years and it is green while all my neighbors looks brown and dead . I started taking up plugs in the spring whe we had some rain and it is taking off . I still have spots to do to fill in and about half acre to go . I did have to put up posts because my neighbor has a guy mow her grass and down here they seem to mow down to dirt and he was coming onto my part so had to put up metal t posts to stop him. I got the pugger when i bought the plugs
I appreciate it! Haha you and me both. I can’t fault them too much considering I’ve run off the road plenty of times but I’m going to keep on trying to get it fixed! I don’t mind one bit if you share it to your page. It’s a great tool and hope it helps someone out.
Nice! It definitely has its place. It’s a slower process than seed but sometimes it’s the better alternative if you want to have a slow takeover of an existing yard or have small bare areas to fill.
@@ZoysiaRUs yea that’s a great idea,when I bought the house the whole front was mud. Made it something nice now but the backyard has always been a royal pain.
I have zoysia matrella…. I have used the pro plugger…. Works nicely as zoysia is a very slow spreader in my experience…. Zoysia does like sand and does well in it…
Thanks for your great videos! I want to transplant plugs to another area. However, it’s about time for pre-emergent here in Maryland. How will this affect the old area and new area?
Not sure I have that answer. Zenith has been by far a walk in the park compared to fescue. I don’t see how it could get any easier than this. Best bet would be to go to a local supersod or somewhere they have side by side plots so you can see the color.

That’s a great way to do it!
I’ve been slowly plugging away on my outer band of zoysia around house. Got the same plugger. Good tool. I’ve got compadre from seed. Love it!
That’s awesome! Not much different in appearance from my Zenith.
Great video! Your zoysia lawn looks healthy and green! Hope the plugs fill in fast and cars stay on the road. 😊
Do you mind if we share your video on Facebook?
I appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
Love this idea plan to try this method instead of buying seed.
Nice! It definitely has its place. It’s a slower process than seed but sometimes it’s the better alternative if you want to have a slow takeover of an existing yard or have small bare areas to fill.
@@ZoysiaRUs my front yard has zoysia and backyard has a hard time for anything to work, so I think that this’ll work out awesome.
@@anthonykontos7931 get a soil test and see if it shows any issues.

I agree with all of that!

Good question. I don’t know for sure but if I don’t think preemergent will have any affect plugs.
Curious on what's the best Zoysia grass in terms of darkest green and easiest to maintain
Not sure I have that answer.
Zenith has been by far a walk in the park compared to fescue. I don’t see how it could get any easier than this.

Can I do this with St Augustine grass?
Ohh yea
Let me send you some established plugs
I appreciate that offer!!!
Definitely couldn’t ask you to do that.
I think I’ve got that section filled with more plugs than needed haha
