AboutLong Island Gardener Expertise How to grow the Perfect Lawn? If you live in the Northeast/Atlantic Coast, I have intelligent answers on grass selection, fertilizers, soil care, weed control, and lawnmowers. Although I have degrees in related fields, a person's real gardening skills are learned from trial and error. More important, I am strict about not using chemicals in the garden. Organic gardening is not just earth friendly and healthier for you, your children and your pets. It's less expensive and easier. You read that right. Less expensive and easier.

Question What do i need to do to bring my lawn back from winter damage.My son and his family moved home from the military. Park on the front lawn all winter. Now there is brown to not grass at all.What do i do to bring it back?
Answer Tell me please where you live so that I can help you. Your type of Grass would also help. My guess this is St Augustinegrass -- which is great for a Lawn that is slightly shaded and NEVER walked on.
High Traffic tolerance is a trait you find in Bermudagrass. Of course even a herd of elephants will harm Bermuda, but it will take a lot more than Augustine.
If your family won't be visiting again EVER, then you can plug back your Augustine Lawn. Only of course if it was Augustine Grass. Next time, put out chairs somewhere else. Like the street.
