It’s not uncommon to observe symptoms of salt damage on your lawn in the northernmost regions. The cold grip of winter is beginning to relax. The signs of life are beginning to emerge, but there’s still some work to be done before you can start throwing garden parties or sipping lemonade in the backyard. Here are a few actions you can take to help your grass come back to life and make your yard envious. Despite popular assumption, dead grass does not imply hopelessness. There are still plenty of options for restoring that lush, green-envy lawn after a season of dormant grass and dreary days. Remove any debris from the grass before watering once or twice weekly during periods of no rain, though extra watering may be required if there is no rain.
Provide enough water to wet the soil to a depth of 6 inches. Watering the grass seldom but deeply stimulates it to develop deep, strong roots that will help it endure drought later in the summer. Saltwater tastes great in meals, but it’s not so great when it’s strewn across your lawn, perhaps leaving brown patches.
