How to Fix a Dry Yard
During hot, humid summer days in Pittsburgh, your lawn may not be getting enough water to grow full and green. At J Bird’s Landscaping , we have provided you with a few tips to help you make sure your dry yard is getting enough water.
Why is my Lawn Dry?
- Lack of watering
- Burning from fertilizer
- Drying due to dog urine
Ways to Help Your Dry Lawn Recover
During a long-term drought in the hot summer, you can save your lawn by applying .5 inches of water to your lawn every 15 to 20 days. For a green lawn aster, you will need to apply one inch of water to your lawn every week, which is about two hours of sprinkler use.
Avoid Overwatering
Use a Rain Gauge
Use Fertilizer
Water at the Right Time
It is important to water your lawn in the early morning or early evening so it can dry naturally and absorb the water before the temperatures begin to rise. Watering at noon can cause the sun to burn your grass and weaken your lawn.
