Polo, You nail it every time. Common sense solutions to problems most of us experience. My lawn goes through this every year and I'm just about ready to pull my hair out because I can't seem to give my lawn enough water. Shaded areas are fine, open to sun areas are another story. I have a huge oak tree in my front yard. Is that oak tree sucking up all of the water that I'm giving my lawn? Year after year I experience this. I'm beside my self regarding what to do.

Hello Wes, your shaded area's are gonna hold moisture in the lawn MORE than your sun area's. This is what we call a micro-climate. The video that I did about an affordable above ground water system explains this. You will see there is brown patch fungus in the shaded area's and Heat Stress in the sun area's. Check it out whenever you get a chance.

This is something that you'll have to watch and manage. If your lawn is turning brown from the heat, do what you can when it comes to watering. Find a medium and stick with it. 1 inch if water per week is good for the lawn, but if you can't do 1 inch, do less than that. Of course, when it rains, having a rain gauge to know how much water you receive is crucial because that will let you know how much watering you'll need to aim towards for the week.

In my very nice neighborhood 1000 gallons of water is about $15 so with the average sprinkler you can literally water your yard for 6 to 8 hours and it’s about 20 bucks

1 inch of water a week is good enough. 2 inches of water a week will have your water bill sky high. When you water your grass, water it early in the mornings, preferably before 10 am. Also, there's ni need to water your grass every day. It needs a little time to dry out. I water mine 2 days a week. So if we don't receive any rain, I'll water it on Tuesday mornings and Saturday mornings.

Right now, we are going thru a dry spell. If you have an active fungus in your lawn, meaning you see mycelium or lesions on the blades, get you down a fungicide. If you don't see any active fungus, you're probably just noticing damage from a previous fungus. I would put some seed in those bald spots. If the grass is dead in those dormant or damaged spots to the point of no return, just seed them as well. Weasel them in, throw you down some Propiconizole over the entire lawn, water it in, and make sure those seeded spots receive some water.

Here's a tip, get you a hose connector spray bottle 32oz is the norm. Put in 4-8oz of dawn dish detergent or Johnsons baby shampoo fill the rest with water. Should cover 3-5000sf. Spray it across your lawn then water it in with your hose or sprinkler system. Put down 1in of water weekly. You'll start to see you lawn recover in about 4 days or less. It'll fully recover in less than 2weeks! This treatment will last for about a month.

Ok, so this is a loaded question. FIRST, that grass is dead because of the possibility of 3 things. Number 1, heat stress. Number 2, Insect damage and Number 3, fungus. You need to find out WHY it's like that FIRST. If it's insects, it possibly will be chinch bugs or grub worms. If you're using professional products, use Dylox for the grub worms and Demand CS for the chinch bugs. If you're using products from the local store, use bioadvanced 24 hrs. If it's a fungus, it could be anything, and I would need to know specifically. If it's heat stress, water will cure that. So, the plan of action should be to clean up that area that has the dead grass in it. When you mow, BAG ALL OF YOUR CLIPPINGS. It would help if you aerate that area where the grass is dead and gone. Find out if it's insect damage or fungus damage. Spread some Peat Moss over top of that damaged area and water it in. From now on, cut your grass low. That St Augustine grass will spread in those dead areas. Just keep watering those areas. If you want to kick it up a notch, add some 10-10-10 to your grass and the dead areas before you put the Peat moss down. This should help 👍🏾

@peupeuguy310 One thing that you need to do is you need to water it longer. That little water that you're giving it isn't even getting deep into the soil. If you can, change up your watering pattern. I would rather you water your lawn for 30 mins once instead of 10 mins for each day. The type of soil that you have doesn't matter. You just need to water it a little longer. Have you ever applied a fungicide to your lawn? I know some fungicides are restricted in CA, but applying a basic fungicide will be a start.

@@PoloFieldsLawnService i can definitely try and do that, as restrictions arent AS bad as last yr 🫡. It would be ok to make that switch to one time a week , during the summer? Oh and yes , this week i applied the bioadvanced fungus control , ( in a spray.)

Ok, the reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to figure out what grass type that you have. Whereabouts in Cali? Northern Cali or Southern Cali?

@@PoloFieldsLawnService not sure what type of grass it is but I will water and aerate the grass today and drop some seed’s tomorrow. I hope this will not make things worse. Pls let me know if that is ok. Thanks I’m advance and I look at your videos daily. I will try to find one of your videos that has this discussion

@mstoomuch5071 Does your grass look like mine, or does it look like vines? Is it stringy? Does it creep in your flower beds and sidewalk?

Just to clarify, An inch of water per week?

@PoloFieldsLawnService

Жыл бұрын

Yes, sir, that inch can come from rain or your sprinklers. I normally will water my lawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays. 1/2 in on Tuesday, 1/2 inch on Saturday. Of course that's if there isn't any rain in the forecast for that week.

When lawn is turning brown the first thing people do on my street is call the fertilizer guy. Then they wonder why they lawn is burned by the hot sun. But what I can’t believe is the fertilizer guy actually comes out and sprays dry grass. He should know not to do that. Right?

Yes, sir, if he is coming out spraying stressed-out grass, he's just squeezing them for more money, in my opinion

What if the grass is dead in some spots

@PoloFieldsLawnService

Hello, if you know it's dead FOR SURE and it's a cool season grass (Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, etc), wait until cooler temperatures to re seed that particular spot. If you didn't spot seed in the fall, do it in the early spring.

It’s not dead just sun burned. I had a look this morning and with water it’s starting to come back. Do I seed it or water or aerate

@mstoomuch5071 If it's coming back, just give it some water and feed it some fertilizer. That's all a lawn needs coming out of a brutal summer. What kind of fertilizer do you use?

Sooo... just add water!

A simple exercise for anyone on how to correctly pronounce 'ask'. A person who sucks up to their boss is known as an 'ass kisser'. Practice saying 'ass kisser' then drop the 'isser'. Now, if called on to say or spell 'ask', no longer will you say or spell "ax".

Great stuff Mr. Polo. My new sod was doing well for the first 3 weeks and had taken root. I decided to back off on the watering and also had been bringing down the HOC at the same time. Bad move. Heat and humidity were high and lawn started to stress out. Was advised to start watering again and this time measure the irrigation output. I have those little yellow cup gauges from Amazon and was surprised to see how much or actually lack of water was really getting down. Now back on track. Watering is key. 👍💚🦸

Yes s,those Sprinkler gauges will surprise you but yet inform you on how much water your getting or not getting. Hope that sod bounces back 💪🏾
