Hi All,


My lawn used to look nice and green. *But now it has yellow patchy all over,
I think it's from my neighbor's dog's uline.
I try to water it more often and put on some fertilizer & Ironite, but it
still did not help. *What should I do to fix this?


The real question here is whether it is in fact being caused by dog
urine. I've seen people blame dead spots on everything from the
neighbor's dog to lawn guys spilling gas on the grass. Unless you
have good reason to believe it's really the dog, I'd suggest getting
an expert opinion. Don't know where u live, but in many areas there
county agricultural agencies that offer free advice if you take them a
sample of your grass. Those spots could be disease, fungus, insect
damage..... And if it's fungus, for example, adding nitrogen and
excess water is just going to make it worse.





and how do I stop my neighbor's dog from peeing in my yard? *any solutions?
TIA


Fences or bushes along the property line.
Some others will probably offer solutions that will result in the death
of the dog.
