Winter Injury
Harsh winter conditions like snow and ice often damage turf. Extreme temperatures like dry weather and freezing temperatures can cause a delay in the spring transition to green turf. Many golf course superintendants and sports turf managers use synthetic covers, anti-desiccant sprays, and heavy sand topdressing to offset winter injury and speed spring green-up.

The Solution
Using permanent turf paints such as the Grass Patch can decrease winter injury and promote rapid spring green-up in turf. Independent research shows that turf treated with permanent turf paints absorb more solar radiation in the winter and spring, allowing the moister to stay near the roots. This elevates soil and surface temperatures, creating a more desirable microclimate. The Grass Patch adds a healthy, natural look to warm and cool season turf all year long. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com/

Water Waste

According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), 26 billion gallons of water are used every day in the US. About 30 percent of this—7.8 billion gallons—is for outdoor use, mostly for landscaping (Watering lawns and drip lines). If we use grass painting as a alternative to overseeding and watering our lawns every day, we could save 50% of water in most homes. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com

Grass Patch

Grass Patch Restores Green Color to Dormant, Discolored Grass

Natural Green Grass Patch is the fast, economical way to instantly restore the natural green color to damaged turf while it recovers.

The permanent pigment will not wash or wear off turf after it has been applied in dry conditions. The color will last for 12 - 16 weeks or until mowing removes the colored grass.

Shade color is controlled by the amount of Grass Patch applied (Concentrate). (RTU) is controlled by how close you are spraying to the brown grass. For a lighter shade you would hold the sprayer back further or just simply add more water.

Give your grass back its healthy green look. Turf Colorant is the professional’s way to preserve the natural appearance of dormant, damaged or discolored turf. It is an environmentally friendly, permanent green pigment. The liquid formula is easily applied with most types of sprayers. Pigment can also be used to color divot mix for a natural green appearance. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com

Water Shortages are now a reality!

Did you know that more than half of the residential water used in a typical households goes to outdoor landscape watering? Grass painting is a great way for an individual to save water and reduce your monthly water bill by 50%.

Potential savings: 50 to 80 percent; that means if you're an average lawn-watering family of four, and 50 percent of your water gets used outside to begin with, you could cut your water consumption by 150 gallons a day. Save Hundreds!

Be careful! Water the landscape only, not streets, walks and driveways. (We already have plenty of concrete and don't want to grow any more). http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com

Why Does Dog Urine Cause Brown Spots In The Lawn? #2

To add to a previous post, here is a little more information regarding lawn burn.

Lawn burn/Grass burn is caused by the nitrogen in the dog’s urine. Because dog urine is very high in nitrogen, when the dog urinates, it is similar to pouring lots of liquid fertilizer on the lawn. A little fertilizer is good for the grass, but to much causes nitrogen burn. The prevention of lawn burn deals with trying to reduce the amount of nitrogen coming into contact with the grass. Using our grass colorant, helps stop the dog from urinating in the same spot, taking away the sent that draws them back again.

There are several factors that can cause lawn burn:

1) Large dogs deposit more urine so they increase the quantity of nitrogen in one location, making lawn burn more a reality.
2) Heavily fertilized yards are already receiving near maximum levels of nitrogen. The small amount of nitrogen in dog urine may be all that is needed to put these lawns over the edge and cause lawn burn.
3) Lawns that are stressed are more susceptible to damage. Lawns that are suffering from drought, disease, insect infestation or newly sodded are more susceptible to lawn burn.
4) Female dogs are more likely to cause lawn burn than males because they void their entire bladder in one location instead of lifting their leg and marking, like males.
