Not with any success you can't.

I planted Zenith Zoysia seed in my backyard back in June. It took about a month and a half of 4x a day watering to sprout but it looks great now. Very nice to walk on barefoot.

It was bare soil that I put a lot of work into preparing. Might not have as much success over seeding it.

My yard is 90% full sun. I'm going with Bermuda. **** all these weak ass grasses.

I'm a big believer in Zoysia! That said, you really aren't going to be able to get Zoysia without sodding. Zenith is the only seed and I think it would be a long and tough process to get it to fight through existing St. Augustine. Zoysia is a slow spreading grass.

This year I finally got tired enough of the spotty TIF 419 bermuda in my backyard that was rapidly regressing in some areas. Have some areas of my backyard that get 3 to 4 hours of sun due to some tree coverage, and the Bermuda was disappearing in those sections. The bermuda loved it in the sunny spots and looked great, but I wanted a grass that handled shade better and I wanted a uniform yard with only one grass type. HATE St. Augustine so that wasn't considered haha.

I sodded with Zeon Zoysia back in mid-June. Despite the ridiculous summer of high heat and no rain (lots of 110+ days in DFW area), it's thriving so far. I've kept it at a little higher of a cut than I will in future years, but I like the feel and look of it so far at this height. Obviously just using a rotary mower. Don't plan on ever cutting it razor short with a reel mower....my wife doesn't want a golf course fairway feel.

This was taken 2 days ago after I mowed.
