One way of reducing cost is chop/split the grass patch into smaller patches, and plant each smaller patch 3 inches from one another, and let them grow, spread and cover the garden. With that, you need only 500 sf of grass. But becareful of weeds. One way of preventing weeds, is to put 3-4 layer of old newspaper on top of your soil, get a small truck load of 'yellow soil (those without the weed seeds)' and cover the newspaper and plant your new grass on top. You will have less weeding to do in future.

Philippine grass is prolly the easiest and most resilient. Pearl and other fancy is trouble some and not consistent in growth.

I spent about 1.3k to dig up 250sq ft of land about 12 in deep, irrigation and drainage piping, top soil replacement, full carpeted Phil grass, a tree, some bamboo on planter box...3 days job by landscaper. 2 truck load of debris and soil replacement. In 4 weeks, the grass stabilized and all the border of carpeting is gone. Water every day for first 4 weeks. Grass is green and nice. Only trimmed every 2 months. I dont even water the grass now once its matured. Once trimmed, I will water and urea fertilized them. Dont trim too short as it will have browning effect. I will trim and fertilized them to have them thick and bushy so it have a consistent look.

Don't have a picture of my unit so stole one from iProperty...

Would it be possible to estimate the cost of using this phillipine grass & soil and undersoil piping for that small lawn at the side of the car porch from this? I don't quite have the exact measurements at the moment.

Someone warned me that carpet grass attracts centipedes??? Is this true?

Buy RIDSECT.... the insect killer and start to Kiiiiiiilllllllllll.....
