EMPIRE for Residential Development Testimonials “My wife and I are very satisfied with our Empire Zoysia grass that has been down for almost 5 at years now. We find it to require very little fertilizer, is growing well under the trees, as well as in the full sun. We love the fact that the lawn does not have to be mowed every week in the summer..."

Less Water… What A Beautiful Idea   EMPIRE Turf elevates the standards and expectations for home lawns by combining soft-to-the-touch feel with lush green color and fine, tight blade growth. A wider blade creates the softer texture. Durability and minimal maintenance needs are EMPIRE’s hallmarks. Originally developed in Brazil, EMPIRE thrives in harsh tropical climates, yet exhibits excellent cold hardiness. EMPIRE requires less water and maintenance than most other turfgrasses: in some instances, once naturalized to the local climate, EMPIRE requires minimal irrigation.   Link to other areas of our Web site for comprehensive information about EMPIRE Turf.
