hi all sifu.....i received below quote from my regular grass cutter
its basically to plant grass for my garden....
here's the itemized quote (total garden size 497sqft to 500sqft)
1. removal of weed, wild grass with Round Up - RM100
2. fine sand - RM450 (which i thought is abit too expensive)
3. top soil - RM350 for 5 bags (he said organic soil....any difference??)
4. clearing of all waste, unwanted soil and rubbish- RM150
5. pearl grass - RM3/sqft
6. overall labou4 - RM300
so based on my garden size, he quoted me total of 2840.
what do you guys think? very expensive???
Why don't try DIY? You have 2-3person to do?
1) weed killer cost below RM20 + pressure pump from ACE RM20 = RM40. Just 1 cap mix with water spray 4-5x entire ground. Wait 2week and the weed will die. Best when no rain time.
2) Last time I get fine sand for RM75/lorry. Not sure what the price now. Take 4 lorry sand should be around that price.
3) If the weed can grow, maybe no need top soil. Fine sand should be enough.
4) Clear the big debric. Just throw it ownself. Find around yourside see who have reno with big tong.
5) Pearl grass, find at sg.buloh. Maybe 50pcs = RM3/sqft = rm150. Maybe can get cheaper. Cut it out and spread equally. More pcs = grow faster.
6) Labour = Treat your family a nice meal.
That is about RM40+RM450+RM150 = RM640. And a nice meal RM360. =RM1000

Save a lot there.
