Color Variation in New Lawn: Normal Dormancy, Not a Problem

Grass Is Dormant — Let It Rest

Fluorescent green → deep green → light patches = normal dormancy transition. No fertilizer, water, or mowing needed.

Fall Manure Feeds Spring Growth

Manure applied in October becomes available as soil microbes activate with warmth — perfectly timed for grass needs.

Don't Over-Fertilize

Excess fertilizer burns grass. Admire the lawn. It's doing exactly what it should.
