DubaiQ.Potting Soil To Lay Turf ?
Hi, I’m living in Dubai and all our yards are made of play sand or beach sand like ( desert sand if you will). I want to have grass in my lawn, I didn’t ask and educate myself before purchasing and bought 1000 litres of potting soil and mixed them in my lawn with the desert sand (mixed very well). Can I lay turf on top of them ? Will it survive ?

Certified ExpertA.Since new grass roots are sensitive to fertilizers, it isn't recommended to feed until the lawn is well established.
It is important to lay the foundation of the lawn with plenty of rich topsoil to provide nutrients until it is established.
As for now, the spots are likely caused by over, or underwatering. This article will help you to care for newly laid sod:

Certified ExpertA.Laying sod will be fastest, but neither option will be tolerant of standing water. Make sure that the spot does not remain saturated and does have some period to dry out so that what ever you decide to put there will not rot.

18940Q.No Mow Grass Mix
I live in eastern PA and am planning to hire a professional company to plant no-mow grass mix. It'll cost $4000. Is it worth it in a sense that: 1. I won't need to mow it more than a couple of times a year 2. I won't have to weed it after the first year or two 3. the lawn will look decent (i.e. not unkempt). For the price, the company will: - kill all establish lawn and weeds with round up; - regrade and remove debris from this process; - install screened topsoil - slit seed the yard using a no-mow lawn seed mix - apply fertilizer and lime as per specs - weed control in spring/summer of the following year
