How to Get Burnt Grass to Turn Green Again

Here are ways you can get your burnt grass back to looking green.

The summer heat can get quite strong, and your lawn is going to take most of the impact. While people can choose to stay inside or apply some sunscreen, grass has to endure whatever the weather has to throw at it. When the heat gets intense enough, it’s possible for your grass to become burnt as a result of excess sun exposure. Fortunately, there are options to restore your lawn to the vibrant green color you want it to have. Here are ways you can get your burnt grass back to looking green.

Water Your Grass Properly

Many people know the importance of watering the lawn, but there is a proper way to get watering done. It’s better to water your lawn for longer periods of time, but at less frequent intervals. If you do lighter and more frequent waterings, there will be water droplets left on your grass blades. These water droplets reflect sunlight, which can accelerate the rate at which your grass will burn. For optimal watering, depending on how much rain you get, you’ll want to water your lawn either once or twice per week.

Give Your Lawn Fertilizer and Nitrogen

Do you see any patches of grass that look more discolored than the rest of your lawn? If you do, those spots might just be lacking in nutrients. By applying some fertilizer and nitrogen to these areas, your grass should regrow more quickly. We recommend this approach if you have smaller areas of grass that need to be treated, especially if those areas are severely impacted. If you need help finding fertilizer, it should be available at local lawn care stores.

Give Your Lawn Sufficient Time to Heal

Time really is the best medicine. Now, that doesn’t mean you can just wait for your lawn to heal on its own, but don’t get discouraged if treating your lawn doesn’t fix everything right away. Your lawn, when given proper care, will go back to its healthy green color if you give it enough time.
