Unfortunately (after reading Emerald Zoysia post relative to NC) we got our backyard sodded with Emerald Zoysia this past May.

This is our grass now....

it has been laying over (even though we cut it every week on the lowest setting before burning.) and when I pull some blades up this is what I see

It gets plenty of water (we have an irragation system)--we water it about once a week. Or lately more because of mother natures help. It is also turning a bit yellow underneath....you can see this more just after mowing.

Any ideas? We haven't fertilized since it was layed (by a landcape co). Where would we take the soil for analysis?

THANKS so much for any help you can give. I really don't want our investment to go down the drain!
