When to Scalp Zoysia and Bermuda

Q: Can I cut my Zoysia and Bermuda way down while it is still dormant? My Zoysia is about 3 inches and I would like to trim it way down

A: You can cut it to 1″ but not now in early February. The winter cold can freeze it.

Wait until you see a tiny bit of growth in late March
