Premium Zoysia Sod Installation in Zone 9b: Geo, Empire & Palisades | Michael Geist’s Yard Works
If you're searching for a lush, low-maintenance lawn in Lake Nona Estates, Winter Park, Oviedo, or Winter Springs, Zoysia sod may be the perfect solution. At Michael Geist’s Yard Works, we specialize in professional installation of high-performance Zoysia cultivars — including Geo, Empire, and Palisades Zoysia — tailored to thrive in Zone 9b conditions.
Our clients choose Zoysia sod for its elegant appearance, drought tolerance, and ability to deliver a golf-course finish with minimal upkeep.
🌿 Geo Zoysia: The Fine-Blade Luxury Choice
Geo Zoysia is a premium fine-bladed grass known for its soft texture and deep green color. It offers exceptional shade tolerance, making it ideal for tree-lined lots or partially shaded luxury estates in Winter Park and Lake Nona.
Benefits of Geo Zoysia:
Dense, carpet-like appearance
Excellent weed suppression
Thrives in sun or partial shade
Ideal for reel mowing and precision landscapes
Perfect for elevated curb appeal, Geo Zoysia performs best with expert soil prep and proper irrigation — both services offered as part of our white-glove installation process.
🌱 Empire Zoysia: The Tough Yet Refined Performer
If you want a Zoysia variety that balances durability and aesthetics, Empire Zoysia is a standout. Its medium blade and deep green hue make it ideal for active families or pet owners in Oviedo or Winter Springs who still want a lawn that looks elegant.
Empire Zoysia Advantages:
Tough and traffic-tolerant
Moderate shade tolerance
Excellent drought resistance
Requires less mowing than St. Augustine
Empire offers fast establishment and long-term beauty with minimal input, making it one of the most versatile choices in Zone 9b.
🌾 Palisades Zoysia: The Bold, Upright Grower
Palisades Zoysia is a coarser-blade variety with strong vertical growth and superior drought performance, great for larger estate lawns in Lake Nona or gently sloped properties in Winter Springs. Its rich green color and upright growth habit make it perfect for a high-end, structured landscape.
Why Palisades Stands Out:
High drought and wear tolerance
Tolerates a wide range of soils
Stands up well to foot traffic
Bold look with a premium finish
