Converting my rockscape in the back of my CYV back to grass. It is only about 370 sq ft.. Thinking of just seeding it and not doing sod. I know how to do it well enough but not in Florida.
Plant it now or wait to a later date? When?
Is there such a thing as hydroseeding here?
I did search for this topic in the forum and found no hits

You can't seed Zoysia. It is only available as a sod. Select another grass if you want to seed.

Seed is available.

Yes Mr Wonderful (thank you) is correct. Zoysia seed is available at both Lowes and HD at $49 a bag. Cheaper than sod and probably too small of a job to get someone to do it for me or have it delivered for me to DIY which is super easy. Lowes does deliver sod but at a minimum of 500 sq ft

When should I plant grass seed in Central Florida?

Seeding is the most convenient and also most inexpensive method to develop a brand-new yard. The most effective time to seed warm-season grass in most components of Florida is in between April and also July, allowing a complete expanding period prior to winter.

Seeding and Overseeding Thin Lawns

Seed or overseed with Pennington Zenith Zoysia Grass Seed and Mulch in late spring or early summer. Wait until all threat of frost has passed. Zoysia grass germinates best with soil temperatures around 65°F to 70°F. This roughly corresponds to daytime air temperatures near 80°F or more.

You need to look at average soil temperature for dates you want to do this and then soil temperature needed for zoysia seed germination. With that small of an area you are looking at one pallet of sod and then you are done. If you try to seed it you are looking at months before it is ready to mow. Gotta keep dogs off of it unless you want dirt in the house. Hydro seed sounds good but they will probably spray it on your fence and your house .
