CURRENT TREATMENT Spring 2026
You may have noticed that the lawn is much thicker and than last fall. I used a bit more nitrogen to help the turf to overcome the damage from the heat and drought last year. It is best to mow the lawn at a higher height. Even though it is growing fast, the taller the plant gets, the deeper the roots grow - the better it will fare if we get another heat wave and drought.
Most lawns are losing the deep green color of the last few weeks. This is because they are sending most of their energy to produce seeds, which you will be seeing. It is normal and they will clear up by June.
