Growing Grass Here In Thailand

[westbounder]

Hi,

I just built a new house here in Chiang Mai.

I have about 1 rai of area that I want to plant with grass to make beautiful.

I notice they sell two types of sod (pre grown squares of grass) here in Chiang Mai.

I was told all the grass is grown in Bkk and shipped here.

One variety looks nice and is soft and the other is thick, course and ugly looking.

What is the difference in them? I would prefer to use the soft nice looking grass everywhere in my land if possible.

Once planted, is there much maintenance and also how often must it be cut?

Please tell me any facts that you can if you have any experience with this.

Thank you kindly...

I think you will find that the corse grass is one of the Festuca family, a hardy plant that will do better in this climate. The fine grass will need much more upkeep and water.
