Saving Your Lawn in St.Charles, Geneva & Batavia, IL
Is your lawn looking pretty bad this year? Mine certainly looks brown and crunchy. We’ve been facing drought-like conditions here in the Fox Valley. I've been focused on preserving my gardens with hand-watering, so by mid-June the lawn at my St. Charles home looked like it usually does at the end of August. As a homeowner, you should take precautions to minimize the long-term impact of a damaged lawn. A stressed lawn is subject to weeds, grubs, and complete die-off if the root systems are severely damaged. To water a brown lawn back to health, start with a steady watering schedule — typically 2 hours every few days (approximately 1 inch of water) — and be careful not to over-water. It may take a lawn 3-4 weeks to return to its beautiful green color. Areas that are in really bad shape may need to be reseeded, but experts advise waitng until the cooler fall weather so that the new grass isn't just burned up in the heat.
