any particular fertiliser to use?

Forget what is the name. But it easlly spot. The label show the grass and only for grass. It come in small white like ball about 1-2mm dia.

Can get it at ACE or any nursery.

okies, i will try to get those. envy the lushious green grass of my neighbours. the grass indeed looks much greener on the other side

Once a week fertilizer, the grass really look nice and green.

But it grow tall fast too.

Hi. reading through the thread and found some real experts here so I tot I could seek some help or advise.
I bought this corner lot house from previous owner and the garden has been taken care off really nicely by the previous owner. He is now migrated back to his home in Germany. Now 6 months after I found that my lawn starting to have unwated grass. I am absolutely newbie on gardening. Please see attached photo. 1 and 3 is the weed and 2 is the lawn grass. The weed is hard to pull out its root as its "branches" is easily broken leaving the root inside the soil. This weed grows very fast and its starting to take over my lawn grass especially in front of my house. Need to seek advise on how to remove this or give me directions for seeking for a solution. Thanks

omg... that's bad! didn't they flatten the soil first?? or is there particular reason that it looks so bad?

my 600sf yard is still botak...

Iya lorr, that's why i call it unskill

They didn't flatten it properly which is the main issue.
Did you contact them back to ask them to resolve the matter?

my car pouch was covered by cement top,
and I ask contractor to build railing so somehow it's become my masterbed room balcony .. do you guys think it's okay to lay grass carpet on 1st floor? would it somehow the root grow and causing damage to the cement?

my fren told me it's nice but next time if i lawn the grass ... my neighbor will bising cuz those grass sure fly all over their place

A lot of oversea countries (European) are actually doing that where they have a lawn on their roof tops.
But what procedure or groundwork they did, am not sure lar.

you have to remove the unwanted grass occasionally. my experience is that even though your surroundings are clean. e.g neighbours unwanted items on your lawn, but somehow those birds or animals will brings the seeds to your lawn. another bkm is that when you hire ppl to cut the lawn grass, make sure he clean his cutter first because it has those unwanted seeds which will populate your lawn.

Hello, Need advice, I was quoted 1100 to cover about 360 sqf with philipine grass. Is this reseonable?

Also was quoted 1400 to cover the longkang with stones ..... about 120ft

RM3 per sqf IMO is quite standard unless you want to go shop at Sg Buluh and lay the grass yourself which would cost almost half of what is quoted.

yes...you dont have choice...myself every weekend has to sit down and remove the unwanted grass, weeds, baby lalang and sometime baby semalu also there..
these unwanted grass can be grow rapidly during rainy period...do it ureself manually..no choice la bro...my finger is naik kematu by doing this stuff...

hi..i got a nursery to plant pearl grass at my corner lot unit at 2.80/per sqft .. so far so good..except..once they die they hardly grow back.. ..but at least for more than half a year i no need cut the grass!

I have read this thread and RM 3 per square feet for Philipines carpet is quite standard charge by contractor. i have been quote the same price however it is not full carpeted whereby the grass is separated for about 5 inch to another. they cut to small pieces. does the RM 3 for this case is reasonable?

cenduku please visit www.esse-resources.com, RM 3, the grass must be fully grown

ic...in my case need to add another RM300 for the contractor to take care the grass until it fully grown. i have asked 2 other 2 contractors almost the same RM3, but they did not mentioned whether this one is full or separate. the contractor that give quote RM3 for separate 4 inchi quote RM 4 if I would like to do full grass.

but I can't find price at the www.esse-resources.com

Added on March 28, 2011, 9:02 pmi have asked the website they said RM 2.50 per square feet for full carpet grass (sod) with 3 months monitoring. Asking about this sprig (separated) they didn't do it but RM 3 is pretty standard based on their experience.
