Dormant Lawn
Under conditions of stress, like extremely hot and dry weather, grass will turn brown and go dormant as a natural survival mechanism. If your grass is dormant, there is nothing you can do right now. Dormant grass will not respond to fertilizing. Fertilize your lawn when the rain returns and your grass begins to recover. Once green, feeding your lawn will strengthen its root system and give it the nutrients it needs to recover faster.
Recovering Lawn
If your grass is beginning to recover from drought conditions, fertilize it now. Feeding now will help restore your lawn back to health by giving it the nutrients it needs to stay strong and healthy. It will also protect your yard against heat and drought in the future. A well-fed lawn just doesn't get as thirsty.
Healthy Lawn
If your lawn is green and hasn't been affected by heat and drought, continue your normal feeding and watering schedule. A well-fed lawn maintains a stronger, deeper root system that protects against the effects of heat and drought and uses available moisture in the soil more efficiently.
