You burned my lawn!

During summer months drought conditions, grass turns yellow in patches, or the drying may occur over the entire lawn. With fertilizer burn, nitrogen kills the microbes that keep the grass healthy and growing. Dog urine also has a high nitrogen concentration, which can cause patches of burned grass. Regular watering of 1.5" per week will keep lawns green. Weeds also thrive during times of lawn stress. Weeds take advantage of stressed grass to move in! Keep grass cut to 3-3.5" to help with stress. Areas that are spot treated forbweeds during summer heat may turn a bronze color but will recover when temperatures and rain start to fall.
