Bright Green Patches in the lawn

Submitted by Bryan Ableidinger

Many times in the NW we start to see bright green patches in our lawns. These patches seem to grow larger as the summer goes by, and then fades toward the beginning of fall. Most often these patches are diagnosed as Poa Annua, or annual bluegrass. This condition in turf grasses may be extremely hard to control. Poa Annua seeds may lie dormant for years and appear even in well established healthy lawns.

During the spring and summer months, the only way to control Poa Annua is to use Round Up (glyphosphate), followed by reseeding with a quality grass seed and starter fertilizer. Seeding should be done after the treated patches have died, and the soil is prepared for seed.

In late summer, Poa Annua may be treated with a pre-emergent at the end of august to mid September when annual bluegrass is germinating. Remember when using pre-emergents, like Super Turf Builder with Halts, or any “crabgrsass preventers”, it is not recommended to over seed for up to 4 months. These “pre-emergent” treatments may need to be followed up by killing the remaining patches in the spring. You will have to decide what has the higher priority, suppressing the Poa Annua, or planting grass seed in the fall.

Stop by Parkrose Hardware and talk to our lawn experts, where we have the best products and experienced staff to find solutions to your problems.

Brown spots in my Lawn

Submitted by Bryan Ableidinger

Irrigation problems are the No. 1 reason for brown lawns. This is the time of year brown spots begin to appear on lawns. There are numerous reasons why lawns, or spots in lawns, may turn brown. These include damage by pests such as insects or diseases, damage by animals that are supposed to be nonpests, like dogs or humans, natural processes and environmental situations. If you do not have an irrigation system for your yard, you must water all areas more. If you have a system installed, the irrigation system must be designed, installed and maintained properly. Irrigation sprinkler heads must have head-to-head coverage (water from sprinkler heads should overlap enough to reach neighboring heads in the vicinity). Sprinkler heads should have nozzles that are all the same type, not a mixture of several types on the same system, so they put the same amount of water on the lawn during an irrigation cycle.
Grass responds to a lack of water by first turning gray-green or smoky colored. If a lack of water persists, the area turns brown. If not watered, eventually the entire grass blade and the plant will turn brown. This results in brown spots that get larger as long as the water is not available.

Remember, fertilizer will not make grass green without proper watering.
