I was advised (to save cost), don't buy grasses to cover exactly the size to be turfed. This means for 200 sqr feet of land,  no need buy 100 pieces of 2 sqr feet grass patch. Just buy maybe a quarter of that quantity and place/grow them with some spacing from each other. Sooner or later they will creep to cover the empty spot. How true is this?

I was qouted rm1.80 per 2 sqrfeet for taiwan grass in sg buloh. Is there a formula to find out the growth time to cover the whole lawn based on the lawn size and total grass patch sizes?

For my case, I wish to grass up 200sqr feet of lawn. Let's say I buy 100sqrfeet of grass patches, cut 'em up and plant em with equal distance from each other. How many weeks will it take to fully grass-ify my lawn?

ooo...thanks so much for your input....

still am not sure whthr to engage the bangla dude... afraid that he will not give wat is promised i.e. the quality of grass etc..

alt is i go to sg buloh n source for it myslf n then jus ask the bangla to do the labour....

lol. yeah. was thinkin of jus cementin d place, but after lookin at the cost, tot that puttin sum grass wud b a cheaper alt. hopefully i didnt miscalc & end up spendin more in the long run.. hehe

You just pull my words right out of my brain.

Well my "1st phase" plan would be turfing my porch with grass , and putting in some hexagonal blocks as paths right to my doorstep. Well uhmm nearly half my porch are cemented. If I have more budget, I would wish to apply wooden flooring to cover it and buy some nice wooden table and chairs and put outside, so I can hang out and sipping my cool coffee.

Would really want to dig a small pond too, but I'm waiting for my thumb to turn green.

hi brothers & sisters...

read the entire thread, pretty good discussion...

however, have you tot of placing an underground lawn piping system? ala those grey color 4" pipe and you make a 10 cent holes let's say every 5 inch apart? this solution are for those experiencing flooding lawn condition..

My lawn is having water patches all over after each down pour and I am/or already started ground soil piping work at snail pace however.. DIY style.

I also intend to rigged up and lay down automatic water dispenser, like those Claber or Karcher (its expensive, i know)...

Suggestions, idea & show-how is much appreciated.

thanks ozak, but the pvc pipe towards longkang need to drill a hole according to its pvc size right?

any particular fertiliser to use?

Ooo..sounds better..I thought I need to remove them by hand manually in 1 day so that the grass wont grow in another day..

After spraying weed killer..wait for 2 weeks.. then do I need to lay new soil? Or I can directly plant the new grass on it?

Oic..nope..either normal cow grass or pearl grass will do.. Thanks for your recommendation bro..will try it out and let you all know the outcome..

Between..the weed killer or lalang killer..only nursery can get? I stay bukit rimau (kota kemuning)..any nearby nursery which I can buy this?

erm..I'll remove the existing grass with weed killer..then remove them after 2 weeks..then I'm going to buy ready grass and lay on it rather than seed...so I assume it doesn't need any skill for this except strength?

Correct me if I'm wrong please...I'm new to this too.. lol... 

Yeap I know Sg.Buloh got a lot of nursery but quite far from my place..but no choice..find 1 day to go there and buy.. so the weed killer only can get from nursery too? Any shop or place can get?

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?

Thanks. by the way, how much of white ball for 1000 sqft of area? someone told me to put 2-3 soup spoon for 1000 sqft. Is it correct?

Guys, many thanks for the helpful thread.

However, after reading the entire post I cant find much project on using grass on balcony.

I saw 1 of LYN-ers asked about this being done on her 1st floor of balcony but there's not much input was given on her enquiry.

I plan to plant this on my balcony & my unit is on the first floor. Therefore appreciate if any sifoo could shed some light on the proper way to do this?

I know its going to be lots of hassle, wearing slippers daily for a few weeks or (possibly months) in and out of the balcony just to water the grass but I think I could live with that at the moment.

Alternatively, do landscape company do take up this kind of minor job/project? Since quite afraid coz my balcony aint that big.

Sry again coz kinda noob here.. Any help is highly appreciated..
