What Is Grass Colorant/Grass Painting

Technically the product that is sprayed onto the grass is a non-toxic green colorant or pigment based dye that simply changes the color of the lawn back to green. Grass colorant/grass paint is purchased as a ready-to-use or a concentrate. If using concentrate you can vary the shade of green by changing the ratio of colorant to water, in the grass painting mixing process. Grass colorant/grass painting is not new, it just has been confined to certain areas, such as golf courses and sports fields. Now we are taking a concept that existed, improved it and brought it to the market place. Never before has grass paint been available at such an accessible level as now. Professional sports teams and golf courses have been using grass colorant/grass paint for decades, but only recently grass painting been used on residential yards and lawns of commercial properties. Grass colorant/grass painting has many advantages. Green grass colorant/paint is a great way to quickly improve curb appeal of a property, by giving the property a lush green lawn, compared to a brown lawn. It is also great for covering up brown spots caused from dog urine. Grass colorant is harmless to the lawn, pets and people and dries usually within 1-3 hours. Grass colorant/grass paint will last 12-16 weeks or until mowed away. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com

Why Does Dog Urine Burn The Grass?

Dog urine has very high nitrogen content, and tends to have a high ph level as well. The concentration of nitrogen in one spot is too high, and as a result, the grass dies, while an outer ring seems to expand.

These circular, brown spots in the lawn typically appear after a spell of dry, hot weather. Damage from dog urine can also appear as light yellow to dark green spots in the grass. The light yellow and brown patches are the equivalent to fertilizer burn. As the salts are leached out, the grass will grow back, typically with a vengeance.

Controls: To prevent this from happening, leach the urine from the lawn immediately after occurrence by soaking the area with water. Unfortunately, this type of damage often occurs in lawns of non-dog-owning people. Repellents have been designed to discourage a variety of animals from just this action, dogs included. Another way to prevent your dog from urinating on the same spot continuing to keep the same spot brown, eventually killing that spot, is to use the Grass Patch. The Grass Patch, will instantly cover that brown area with a nice green colorant and will usually take away the smell of the dog urine, that normally is what attracts the dog to continue to pee on that same spot. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com
