Ever plug your yard with zoysia or bermuda

I didn't kill the fescue because if I was going to kill the lawn, then I would have just laid sod. Plus, if the plugs don't take, then I still have grass. My board exam pushed me into growing season here and I'm busy during the entire month of June. I needed an option that allowed me to get grass in the ground.
I used the proplugger from proplugger.com. It works awesome.
Work wise, if you have a small area, then just sod the entire thing. Zoysia is twice as expensive as bermuda. If you have a large area and don't mind waiting a few seasons for the grass to grow in, then plug on 12" centers.

Grass, what's that? My back yard will not grow grass for ****. Too many big oaks blocking the sun, and too many rocks/thin soil. Whole thing turns into a mud bog when it rains. Wonder if Zoysia would work?

Only downside aside from the initial plugging is it browns up in the fall and winter. I don't give a crap what my lawn looks like when nobody will be spending time on it. I like to have people over for cornhole, horseshoes and cookouts in the summer and zoysia rules.
Plugging at 6 inches will take 2-3 years to fill out but it's worth it.
I buy my zoysia locally in plastic sheets that are already cut. I have done the internet order and cut them by hand but that takes twice as long on labor so it wasn't worth it for me so I pay the premium for pre-cut.
Soil in MD really sucks. It's all clay and sand and zoysia seems to like it. I couldn't get **** else to grow without being overcome by weeds and needing serious watering in the summer so zoysia was it.

I looked at the plugs this morning and they are still green. Good sign. I'm watering daily, and will continue to do so for the next two weeks. Then I'll dial it back a bit.
