QUOTE(jagjag @ Jan 14 2015, 12:40 PM)     My grass got all these problems... 2nd pic - Overgrown / uneven on few spots 4th pic - Overgrown on the edges Can anyone advise me what is the problem n what sud i do on it. Thinking of cutting it short n evenly n let it grow again...but doubt this will work ( i mean to cut it short evenly )... Grass need to trim and takecare. Trim it short and let it grow again. Those a heavy bunch, trim it more down. Put some fertilizer and it will look very green evenly.

QUOTE(jagjag @ Jan 14 2015, 02:24 PM) MMM..lack of sunlight...i can say that my lawn is evenly expose to sunlight wor... I have doubt anyone go to dig that...could it be any insect or sort .... Cutting the edge will expose the non-green part of the grass, i have don this before infact and when it grow back,same things happen..  Evenly expose at all time? You sure no shade at certain time? They could be dig by dogs, cats and etc. You cut a thin line between you pavement and grass. Cut all the way down to the soil and remove it together with the root. Is line creating a line between your pavement and grass. It will look very tidy and need.

U mean create a gap between the grass and pavement rite?? so we will see a gap of soil between the pavement and grass and let the grass grow to cover up the gap???

Always cut no more than 1/3 of the grass height. U cut short then the soil will be more exposed to sun's heat and soil will dry faster.

Went to Sg. Buloh today and there's one nursery selling this special kind of pearl grass which has white lines on the leaves. Only found this type of pearl grass at this nursery. Intend to plant this grass when I've prepared the soil. Attached thumbnail(s)

Cutting the edge will expose the non-green part of the grass, i have don this before infact and when it grow back,same things happen..  You should trim it short, to around 2 inch. This will inevitably exposed the brown areas which are the stems. The brown parts will provide new leaves when they are exposed to sun.. The brown patches will get smaller during subsequent trimming. Frequent monthly trimming at 3-3.5 inch will produce nice compact lawn.
