I hired a lawn care company so why is my grass still browning out in the Summer time drought?
In the Summer time we apply a slow release fertilizer; however, the grass may still go dormant due to lack of water in an extreme drought. The slow release fertilizer will help maintain the plant health and allow a quicker green up during optimum growing conditions or when adequate moisture levels return. We recommend watering faithfully with a sprinkler or installing a sprinkler system to maintain a year round green lawn. If you decide to water, you need to water deeply and infrequently.
