hi. looking for some advice. i bought a new build house in mid-november
and the lawn had been freshly laid for our arrival front and back. since
then we have had a very bad winter (as you are all probably aware) and
the lawn is very patchy with straw coloured patches all over. i'm a bit
concerned as i don't want to lose the lawn and was wondering if there is
any experienced gardeners out there who can give me good solid advice to
make my grass nice and green..........thanks.

Having grown up in Michigan, I know that, in the winter, straw-colored
lawn is normal. Any green grass during a Michigan (or Minnesota, where
I also have lived) winter is pretty unusual. Don't fret over it. When
warm, rainy weather returns, then you can expect green grass. In the
meantime, enjoy the snow!
