IS YOUR LAWN DEAD — OR JUST DORMANT?
After a long stretch of dry summer weather, plenty of Greater Victoria lawns are looking pretty rough.
But brown grass doesn’t necessarily mean dead grass.
Many established lawns naturally slow down and go dormant during hot, dry conditions. The grass may look brown above ground while the crown and roots remain alive and ready to recover once cooler weather and moisture return.
So before tearing everything out, take a closer look.
If portions of the lawn really are damaged, late summer and early fall are also a good time to start planning repairs, topdressing, overseeding or replacing damaged sections with fresh turf.
And if fresh turf is part of your plan, remember that Tuf-Turf live turf is a great , fast solution.
