Guides · Zoysia & Sod
A new Zoysia lawn is one of the best upgrades you can make to a Central Arkansas property — dense, fine-bladed, and tough in our heat. Here's what a professional installation actually involves, and how WeCare includes the Zoysia free when we install your lawn, because we grow our own.
The WeCare advantage
We grow it, cut it, and install it. When WeCare installs your new Zoysia lawn, the sod itself is included free — you save $250 per pallet (3-pallet minimum). Most installers have to buy their grass; we don't.
Sod succeeds or fails in the first two weeks, and most of that is decided before a single piece is laid. A lawn that's rushed onto poorly prepared ground will show every low spot, seam, and weak root. Professional installation gets the foundation right — the grade, the soil contact, and the watering plan — so the lawn roots fast and knits into a seamless carpet.
Zoysia is our top pick for many local lawns — it forms a thick, weed-crowding carpet, handles heat and humidity, needs less mowing than bermuda, and takes some light shade. It does go dormant (tan) in winter like other warm-season grasses. If your yard is deeply shaded or you want winter color, it's worth comparing your options first.

New Zoysia needs consistent water while it roots, then a gradual taper as it establishes. We send you off with a simple schedule so there's no guessing. How to water & care for new sod in Arkansas →
💡 A new lawn is often the finishing touch on a bigger project. If you're also dealing with drainage, grading, or tired beds, it may be worth doing it all at once. See what a complete landscape transformation looks like in Central Arkansas →
