What is the thickness of the layer of sand....4" enough? Thanks.

2" to 3" should be enough.

Dont you need any irrigation system? I saw some people do that.

Is up to you. You can always watering you lawn manually, right?

i see.. i thought is for draining the water away.

For draining purpose u can put some perforated pipes below your grass

i see. then channel the water to the roadside drain?

Channel to the nearest manhole.

Hi anyone can recommend grass suppliers within Klang valley area?

Thanks

Guys,

Any ideas how much does it cost for a 1ft x 2ft Philippines Grass, Japanese Grass and Pearl Grass in Klang Valley...Any recommended supplier?

Thanks

I'd be interested to know current prices too.

I just did some experiment on apartment yard (tiles floor), I have be trying cow grass.. Cow grass, Philippines grass and Japanese grass at my hometown. I prefer Japanese grass due less maintenance. No need to cut the grass since they like have limited length of leaves unlike Philippine grass which need to be cut from time to time. As per observation I see that the farmer/seller use clay soil and all grass I tried they love direct sunlight (matahari terik) the most provided with good amount of water supply . So in this experiment I bought clay since I want to try at apartment yard. Since my yard facing sun on the afternoon till sun down this would fit my Japanese grass light requirement.

Details as below :-
- Bought Japanese grass at RM3 per cut (bought 6 cut) at sungai buloh grass seller the more u buy the cheaper price u get
- Bought 1 guni of clay soil RM 10 same seller

I put 2cm on clay thickness before putting the grass cut. I also have auto water timer 2 times( mist for 10 minutes) this picture after 2 weeks with mild/very little of fertilizer(mix with water spray).. since want to know how good this grass grow without fertilizer.

I use 4 cut in this picture balance I gave my mom

yup.. top 1 is Philippines Grass 2nd is Japanese Grass (leaves abit wider compare to Japanese Grass)

how much the the price? Normally Philippines Grass is cheaper compare to Japanese Grass if u dun have plenty of clay soil.. just buy together with grass might get u cheaper price

Thanks pal for the confirmation. I ordered already and will send over today. Will reconfirm again later. The japanese grass is 2.80 for a tray of 1ftx2ft and the philippines grass is 1.10 per tray according to him. However, I choose the japanese one.. Will see how it goes later after got my delivery.

may i know where is this nursery and its name?

Sharing some of my DIY lawn works with phillipine grass.
It took 6 months to cover the whole lawn starting with small patches. Lots of weeding work and still have weed to take care til now. Those weed with "bulb" type root is pesky to remove .
The end results still doesnt look good. Now having problem with brown spots around. Maybe the grass grow too long and the grass cutter cut too short. I cut every month.
