When a lawn doesn't get sufficient water, it goes dormant and turns
brown. It's not dead and can survive a long time like that.

If you're going to water, it should be watered deeply every 4 to 7
days depending on temps, type of soil, etc. That means it needs about
an inch of water. With a typical sprinkler system that means over an
hour per zone. You can put out some cut out tuna cans to measure the
amount. Most people have no conception of how much water they are
even putting down.

The worst thing you can do is water it a little each day. Ten or
fifteen minutes only wets the surface, most of that evaporates. That
practice will only encourage disease, fungus, and shallow roots.

I had surgery about three weeks ago and since then I have not watered my
lawn. For obvious reasons, my lawn is now all yellowed out with a few
patches of green here and there.

I live in Oklahoma and the weather had been very hot lately.

Is there a way to resurrect this grass? I am recovered from surgery and
therefore can go back out there and try to work again if possible to revive
the grass.

Thanks

water for 10 -15 minutes every day and you will notice reqrowth in a week maybe
less
