My hubby left a pool out on our lawn and now the grass is rotting, what can we do to get it back to normal?

Answer 1

You can rake it but it's not necessary if the pool has been removed just wait for the sun to start the photosentisis process. It won't take long make sure to water it well.

Answer 2

You can get it to grow back again. You will need to remove the old grass; for there maybe the seedlings from weeds hiding in amongst the grass.

For smaller areas that need repaired:
Here are tools/items that you will need:

1. A garden rake.
2. A lawn rake.
3. Fertilizer.
4. Grass seeds.
5. A garden hoe.

Use the garden rake and pull up the dead leaves and any other rotten plants. Next use the hoe to dig up the remaining grass and roots. After you have removed all of the decaying matter, then add your fertilizer (granules work better; they slowly release the right amount into the soil. Use the hoe or the garden rake to mix the soil and fertilizer together. Then add your grass seeds. Lightly cover the area with soil.and then using the hoe; lightly tap the soil down. Keep area moist by watering it until the seedlings sprout. Once the grass has started to grow you will need to keep it watered a few times a day. Don't water during the hottest times of the day; for you will burn your seedlings. When the grass has established itself then you can water the area as you would the rest of your lawn.

Answer 3

Rake it lightly- so that it does't thatch. Depending on the type of grass it will most likely come back by the fall 100% If it's still lacking or seems to be worse by then rake the area and remove much of the dead grass.... aerate with a foot aeration tool (handy device 13 bucks)... then over seed water well into the fall if u are in the north- even as your lawn turns brown for winter. (Trust me, the roots are growing) and in sping do same process- - it'll be the best patch of lawn you have next year.

Answer 4

If the grass is rotted, it is dead. I'd suggest you rake out the dead grass and seed or sod the area. Water well and when seeds sprout, fertilize with Milorganite. Milorganite is a general purpose, reprocessed, organic fertilizer that will not burn. It does not have to be watered in and can be used throughout your yard, around trees and in shrub and flower beds. Best product I have ever found!!

Answer 5

I assume he has moved the pool. Get a rake and rake the area. Once the soil has dried, water the grass deeply. It will eventually turn green again.

Answer 6

As long as you have removed the pool so the air and sun can get to the grass it will definetly regrow.

Answer 7

If you leave it alone it will resolve itself. try not to get it wet or it will continue to rot
