if you water dead grass that is like hay will it turn green again?

Answer 1

Here in Missouri we get lots of rain except in the month of July and parts of August. the grass turns all brown and dead looking and when the fall rains start up it gets all green again. So if you are willing and can afford it turn on the sprinklers and water, water, water.
Good Luck!
I'm on a well so I just wait.

Answer 2

This time of year in most of the USA grass will go dormant. Dormancy is perfectly fine, in fact aside from the brownish color it is actually good for the grass. The rooting system continues to be very active -generally will become stronger. Dormancy is only healthy for up to six weeks in a row.... if this time frame approaches without a soaking rain or two (thuderstorms don't count, most of it runs off) then water it. Grass as you described "like hay" seems a bit more like something worse. But it is easy to judge for yourself, go look at a shopping center or "corporate center" where there is professionaly maintaned turf. It is easy to see what areas are not watered. Take a look at the grass and see if this is what you have. If so, yes- when you water it again on sustained basis it will in fact become green again.

Answer 3

During a drought some types of grass go dormant. They turn brown and look dead. Grab a handful and pull. If it easily comes out it is dead,if there is some resistance it is dormant and needs water to revive it.

Answer 4

If the grass has no been cut, it just may revive - many of the plants in my garden (here in Phoenix) are recovering, now the monsoon is here.

If you have time, it doesn't really cost much to try reviving plants - I had a "dead" snail vine this Spring. It had died right back to the roots - I now have over 10 feet of new growth above ground.

Answer 5

It depends on the grass, if its a turf grass like Bermuda, Zoysia, or Centipede it will recover just fine with a little care, If its a cool season grass like fescue or Bluegrass it will need to be reseeded in the fall

Answer 6

Yes, but takes lots of watering to return. You must do on a regular basis also, needs a good soaking of water to revive roots, will come back on it,s own also after a good soaking of rain. Grass is very tough!!!

Answer 7

In my experience, dead is dead. Dead things don't grow. BUT they can generate seed which if watered and protected by the dead grass acting as mulch, and if watered well, you will get new growth. Must water every day for at least 15 minutes or so.

Answer 8

Probably after a while. You would have to water it lots though and it might take until next year. But it should come back eventually.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10
