Zoysia is a warm season grass.... like most of the native grasses that were here in the US before settlers planted cool season grasses from Europe. May want to look into Buffalo grass such as the newer hybrid Sundancer. Very deep root stucture. PA annual perception is probably much higher than the Central Plains.
You will not kill it or get rid of it. I bought my home 40 years ago and a neighbor had planted it in his 5 years prior to this. Over the years I slowly watched the Zoysia creeping in and taking over.
I now have a completely Zoysia grass lawn. And now I am watching it spread onto my other neighbors lawn.
When you dig it up a piece you can not pull it apart.
It will turn brown when the temperature turns to 65 degrees and it will green up again when it turns to 70 degrees, just like clock work.
You will never have to fertilize it, water it or apply weed killer. It just is. Any weed that may appear can quickly be removed with a shot of weed spray.
You will have to find plants that can survive in it also. Peonies can live with it, home gardens once tilled will be a drawing card for it to spread to. Raised bed gardens will work if you put down a solid weed barrier mesh with no open seams.
I guess I’m saying its very invasive. Very easy to rake leaves up though. They just sit on the grass.
Like cutting wood….measure twice, cut once.
For Zoysia….think twice, plant once.

I'd like to know what variety to use, my yard stays bare in spots from dog movements. Every year seed and repair, every year it thins to muddy paths. What grass to use in central Ky, some shade and often very wet in the spring, but most summer months it's very dry. The birds get some of it as seed of course.
Most of the tanks are gone and the windows don't rattle anymore. I won't be able to sleep now.
Common in FL, needs a tally level yard, leveled with a roller applied. Cut with a reel mower only. look close at the yards. Watered with sprayers.
Grows very slooooo. Mows twice a year, growth fill in is a joke.... Is not a walk on barefoot kind of yard, like walking on pine needles. Makes a look but do mot touch yard.
I am not a fan. Find a full yard, look close, stop, ring the door bell, ask the owners what they think.

Our first house came with a zoysia yard. I was push mowing at the time, but was in my late 20s so it was no big deal. I liked it because it grew slowly - didn't need to mow it near as often as most fescue lawn grasses. As others have said it was plush, the kids loved playing on it. Had a neighbor from South Carolina; he said some people there would burn it off in the spring before it greened up to prevent mulch buildup.

Put some on banks I didn't want to mow any more than necessary. It is a bit slick when the dew is on it.
