Grass Lawn

I love all this hot weather but my lawns are really going brown. Hope it comes back when it rains as I am on a water meter and don't want to water it


Will it be ok?

    Yes, grass is very resilient and unless it's a brand new lawn should pretty much always green back.
  • One good water a week, during the night, will help. A gallon is only coppers on the meter.

    You can't kill grass. The stuff is cut weekly and it still grows! I take it that it was covered in snow and wet this past winter and still it grew in the spring.

    Your grass will be fine.

    No need to water it, JEN. It will grow back in a while when it rains. Watering it artificially will probably do it more harm than good, as it will promote shallow roots.

    Wait, it will rain, and it will all go green again. Promise!

    See? I do really care! :D
