New Lawn Yellowing
You've probably washed all the nitrogen away with all that water. Fertilize it,
and cut the watering back to not much more than once a week. Are you sure watering once a week would work in high-temperature Zone 9? We're hovering around 100 degrees most of the summer and I have to hand-water dry spots frequently as it is. :/ What species is/are in the lawn? What have the temperatures been like, day and night? The lawn is a blue fescue mix. The daytime temps are in the upper 90's, low humidity, with nights in the lower 60s. If by "blue fescue mix" you mean a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and the usual lawn fescues, you've probably got your answer right there. These are cool season grasses and go dormant in heat -- you're probably seeing "leaf firing". Continue to water, but do not overwater -- things will green up again when fall comes. If by "blue fescue mix" you mean you've got Festuca ovina var glauca, it's also cool-season species, but one not suited for the typical mowed lawn, as it's a clump-former, not a sod former. Kay |
