Hi,
I have patches of Ice on my lawn. This could be because the lawn is retaining water in those patches and the water is frozen to Ice. Is it good for the lawn, or should i try to melt the ice.
In the spring will the lawn will have to be relaid on those patches.
thanx
Raj

Your lawn should be fine in the spring, providing you have a cool season lawn. No need to do any melting. The ice patches are not the main problem here, it is the fact that you have "patches" of water (ice) only, that has me concerned. Have you been getting a large amount of rain and these patches are in low areas of your lawn and not draining well (soil compaction)? If so, you need to do a core aeration on your turf in the spring and again in the fall. This will help alleviate some of the problem. If you have a heavy clay soil, you can start applying "gypsum" for the next couple of years and this will help to breakdown the clay particles allowing for better drainage. Hope this answers your question...

Everything should be fine.Let the ice melt naturally.
I've had this happen and especially along my fence line where water was lying where there were a few low spots.
The grass came back and had no problems.

you might have a fungal disorder name 'brown patch ' you ought to deal with the subject with zineb or captan ; in case your not sure of this jargon , cross for your neighborhood nursery . however it'll quite simply be that you're over watering your new garden , mixed with too near a mowing sample and deficient drainage . anyways see the way you cross and well success

It will melt, no reason to try and do it yourself. Ask your neighbors about the yards-- really doubt you would need to resod the lawn.

it sounds like this might be the first year this ever happened & if it is you have bigger problems then just an icey lawn you probably have a water line break between the the city water shut off and your water meter if this has never happened any other year unles you just moved in there and wasnt warned you bought a swamp good luck
