No, I mean live grass sods/patches of, usually, 0.5 m2 a piece

Make sure ground is soaked before laying the sods and water x2 a day. Best to do in rainy season.

Interesting.   Seems like things grow so fast seeding would be so easy.  But if you have the money sod in the US stops the muddy mess quickly and looks great in a few weeks.  Best to amend the soil prior and make sure there won't be settling.   If any deep trenches try to water and settle those first. 

 

Really no different up keep than an established lawn.   Sounds like they just want your mowing, fertilizing, and herbicide contract.  

In Thailand do many homes use sprinkler systems?

Not sure about the costs, seeding is always an option I think, but then better to wait for near rain season as suggested??
