In regions that grow cool-season grasses, summer dormancy is one of nature’s survival mechanisms to help your grass endure stressful conditions, such as the prolonged heat and drought of summer. The severe stress causes the lawn to temporarily stop growing. If your lawn goes dormant for an extended period of time in the summer, it may not entirely recover, leaving you with portions of the lawn that will need to be renovated.
You can spot summer dormancy by the following symptoms:
🌿 The lawn appears “dead”.
🌿 The leaves and stems of the grass plants turn brown as the crowns and buds stop growing.
🌿 The grass begins to grow again when the weather brings cooler temperatures and more rainfall.
