Comments (6)Certainly road salt is a consideration, but if it is just happening now, heat is also a factor. Pavement heats up more than turf during the day and releases that heat all night long. The extra heat evaporates water faster and causes the grass to dry out. It just needs to be watered a little longer along the edge of the pavement....See MoreCan I save my dying new grass?
Comments (8)Water would be the only thing I'd add now. I don't see your location, so I can't see the grass type, but don't feed. You did the right thing six weeks ago, but right now, the grass doesn't want dinner. It already had a nice lunch and dinner is some time away yet. Spring seedings on northern lawns are very difficult and it looks like you did the best job possible. Unfortunately, that hot week did damage. Right now, water. Water. Water. If it doesn't rain, water every other day or every third day...ridiculous under any other circumstance, but in this case, required. And do it in the morning so the grass' blades are dry by nightfall. You want the soil damp but not soaking wet at any time, so that schedule may need to change depending on your sprinkler and the circumstances and location in the lawn--it's just a guideline and I'm also not specifying a time period of watering for that reason. The goal, ultimately, would be about an inch of water a week regardless of how you put it down. For reference, a tuna can is just about an inch deep. If anything is going to bring it back, that will. And unfortunately, once back, you're going to have to keep up the watering until the weather cools off. Now that was for northern grass. If you have a southern grass like Bermuda, please let us know and I'll delete what I just said because it's not as proper as it should be. :-)...See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
