I intend to grow a lawn. The area is approximately 10000 square foot parts of it are shady but most of it gets sun. the surface is stony underneath, but there is a layer of cracked clay an inch deep perhaps.... this place is in Islamabad on simly dam road. I request information about what should I buy (type of grass) and from where in Islamabad can i get the best deal, what should i mix with earth (I have 20 trolley load of good earth for spreading). Please guide me totally clue less and especially a good nursery/place, i have heard these nursery guys hoodwink you ...please help

It is recommended to not to use grass seeds, as they dont make a uniform lawn... rather buy actual grass and plant it in soil..

Why do we need to add gypsum?
