Fantastic, Dad, but we don\u2019t have a dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brown &amp; Yellow Grass Could be a Sign of Overfertilization<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While pet urine can definitely be hard on your lawn, when you don\u2019t have a dog, you can\u2019t blame Fido for your brown and yellow grass. Another likely cause? Too much fertilizer.<\/p>\n<p>Fertilizer is like food for your lawn. And like food, you can have way too much of a good thing. If you ate nine cheesecakes at a time, you wouldn\u2019t be looking or feeling your best. The same is true for your lawn. Too much fertilizer at once damages the grass. The grass turns yellow and brown because it\u2019s being burned by excessive contact with the minerals and nutrients that are supposed to sink down to the root system. When a lawn has been over fertilized, you can sometimes observe excess fertilizer remaining on the surface of the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Just because your lawn is overfertilized doesn\u2019t mean you put too much fertilizer on your lawn. Sometimes the issue is drainage. When water moves across your yard, it can move fertilizer from one area to another, accumulating too much in one area and causing damage. Sometimes the overfertilization is a result of how the fertilizer is formulated. Remember, if the fertilizer isn\u2019t specifically mixed for your lawn\u2019s microclimate, it might not be right for your lawn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Overfertilization Damage Permanent?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Luckily, no. Grass that has been damaged by too much fertilizer needs some TLC to start looking its best again. <a href=\"\/southshore-ma\/\">Call in your Norwell lawn fertilizer services<\/a> for help.
