i was quoted lump sum RM600 for 400+ sqft lawn area. incl lab cost + philipine grass + sand (approx 30 bags) from bangladeshi.
was advise by fren that I need to make sure that sand is at least 3" thick.

wonder if it is a good deal?

also, anythin tat i need to be weary of?

How about fertilizer? weed killer?

should they put it in before planting? or after?

weed killer before planting..

to improve soil condition, put soil conditioner

IMPORTANT learning: every grass NEEDS maintenance. There is no such thing such as NO maintenance.

whether its cow grass, Philippines grass, all needs maintenance.

if you dont think you can commit some time in doing it, better put all cement in your lawn...lol~

This is what I do. When I m lazy to maintain the grass, I don't put the fertilizer and water. It will grow slow and can last for many month. But the grass won't be green and nice. It will become yellowish and scattered.

But when I m not lazy, just fertilizer it and water. Between a month you can see your grass green and nice. But prepare to trim and hardwork.

If you no experience, you can't get a nice garden as what you want.

Once the expert get your garden done, you can learn from them. In future, you can try it yourself in small scale.

It is very nice and beautiful to have a grass garden. Specially morning when you look out and see your garden so green. While sipping your hot coffee.

And I want to have some oxygen too breath too.
