    i did it myself and its quite good now, my lovely garden due to my huskies running on it, killed most of my front part of the garden. Went to Flower market in Prince Edward/Mong Kok and one of the flower shops there sells 2 types of grass seeds that come in a can. Cost is $88 for Bermuda grass and some other one which i forgot. Bought a small rake as they didnt have the larges one and took it back. Spent an afternoon raking and planting the seeds. Now it looks great.

    LOL! we actually planted the grass, too, about 1000' of it... it grew very nicely... then 15 dogs ruined it in about 10 minutes flat.

    we thought about the turf, but decided on tiles instead... much easier to clean!

    Haahaa, tiles is the way to go but since we are only renting this place and the LL doesnt want us to change the garden, apparently 7 people own that part of land, he's just borrowing a part of it by fencing it off.

    we didn't actually lay the tiles properly. we just laid them down in the soft earth. it looks ok, but is easily removed for when we move, too.

    Looks great,

    How long did that grass take to grow? (estimation)?

    Thanks very much.

    Best regards,
