How long it takes for you to DIY? Manpower: My husband and I

Look at my garden, during renovation (no weeds) and current state (lalang is about 2-3 feet tall). Still got hope for DYI?

Wow.. didn't know it will takes a month! When I asked Lot 16 to quote me, they just mentioned the work to be done from clearing, treatment, delivering, then payment!

The earlier thread mentioned about using chemical weed killer to kill the weed, however read in the link you provided earlier, that it's not recommended unless the professional do it. What is your take?

OK, got it, many thanks.. will post my updates soon. Cheers

get pearl grass, it will not grow long like my phil grass, very irritating.
but pearl grass has a disadvantage, if u did not water, it will die faster than phil grass.

I think any grass will have insects, that is natural.

I want to remove my house existing grass and plant new grass.. any grass that is soft while stepping on it? and looks clean 1?

I heard someone talk about Philippines grass..is it good? Or Japanese grass?

Hi all,

My garden is Philippines grass. however, after fertilizing with urea (small white ball). It shows dark green patches all over the place. what could i do?

Hi all,

My newly planted (2 weeks) philipine grass also have some gaps. My contractor planted the grass very closely last time. I'm also seeing that some parts of the grass+root are sticking out of the soil. Im guessing this is because some loose soil has been washed away by rain.

Should I patch the gaps with new grass? The part where the grass and roots are sticking out, I'm thinking I need to put either new soil or sand.. which is better?

just wonder what kind of rumput is this... growing freely in my house...

thanks for your reply man.. my contractor definitely lay a layer of sand on top of the soil before put the grass.. maybe cannot be seen from the photo because all is covered by the red soil+grass already.. haha.. anyway, abit susah la to siram 3 times a day.. probably need to go buy that sprinkler system then possible.. any idea where to get one?

No need 3x water lah. Put some fertilizer probably 2x a month. The grass glow faster and greener.

I didn't water 3x. Only evening 1x. The grass grow as usual and dense. I put the fertilizer depend on mode. When I lazy maintain, I don't put the fertilizer. It grow slower so I no need cut frequent. But the grass look yellowish and light green.

If put fertilizer, the grass look like those golf course. Dark green and look fresh. If you wakeup morning and see your grass like this, damn shiok feeling.
