i think it is still new. i heard a lot of comments regarding phillipine grass, not easy to maintain. need to cut regularly.
anyone got sharing what kind of grass is less maintenance?
my contractor recommends batik grass. no need to cut for very long time. but cost wise i feel is expensive, rm5 per sq ft.

cow grass is all green, this batik grass got yellow strip. got some pattern la... that's why expensive.

my contractor showed me his farm, he grew the batik grass there. seems to be ok and quite nice too.

rm2.50 means you have to plant your own right? doesn't include piping?
currently i'm surveying contractor to plant grass. some contractor said need to put perforated piping so that won't flood in the garden. but there is one contractor said put piping isn't the best solution. he said paipe only can last a few months only because when the grass mature and root start to grip the soil harder, hard for water to flow into the pipe. instead he proposed to do auto pipe which is doing levelling, ensure water flow out.
anyone can share some experience? which one better?

where can find ideas on how to design garden landscape?
