It has been about 4 months since I planted my new Japanese grass garden, the grass today still has uneven color and height, can I know what else I need to do to end up with even color and height?

The different is due to the different exposure to sun. Very hard to get even colour.
For even height you need to trim it frequently.

If you walk a lot on the grass and with sufficient sunlight, it will grow slow in term of height.

You better trim the grass. Do not let it grow too tall. Too tall when trim all become brown and die. No kidding.

A Lot of water, sunlight and trim regardless if it is short. Trimming will make it level and not one patch outgrown the others. nod.gif

You also got to check:

1. is the ground even? Deeper ground grass grow taller but loose and fall flat.
2. Is the ground evenly hard? Hard ground grass grow shorter. Do not step on the ground/grass especially when it has not matured.
3. Do not fertilize too much. When do spread evenly. You do not expect your grass root to grow horizontally long to get its nutrient right?
4. water water water. Lot of water

Thanks, will start trimming...

For uneven ground, what can I do to even out? when planting the grass, the planter put 2x1 patches on top of sand, and there are slim border lines that are not covered properly, should i add more sand or add topsoil to even out those areas? or just let grass slowly cover them?

Yellowish patch could be due to lack of sunlight, lack of fertilizer, or burnt by fertilizer etc.
The light colour patch looks like it's in the middle of your lawn, so it's unlikely due to lack of sunlight. It looks like more of lack of nitrogen based fertilizer. Try go get high nitrogen based fertilizer like Urea, which has the highest concentration of nitrogen, and is basically used for leafy plants especially lawn. It's also one of of the cheapest fertilizer at around rm1.60 a kilo if buy in bulk. Dilute it in water before application otherwise u will cause burning.

Use a lawn mower, it is easier to have even height for your grass, given that your land is even too.

A DIY auto watering is drill pvc pipe with tiny holes 6 inch apart on a straight line on the pipe and place it at 60 degree angle. To water your plant or lawn just turn on the tap valve and adjust the volume. The working condition is high water pressure is needed. Also the pipe length cannot be too lone or too many holes or holes have to be small like I said tiny holes.

Auto fertilizing? pee on the lawn whistling.gif
