dead looking turf rolls

Really they just needs frequent watering but don't leave them soggy all the time.

Empire Zoysia or another turf in Perth area ??

EZ doesn't go brown just because its summer.
It will go brown if:

Hey guys.
Not really surprised I haven't had any replies, though I did manage to catch one and get a photo of it.

SW for $7/metre?!? That's a bargain. I have never seen it under $10.
I paid $7.50 for EZ and that was a great price.
