Fall Lawn Decisions

This is what my front lawn looks like going into mid-August. It wasn't watered at all this summer. Last fall and spring were a struggle for it with little moisture and warmer than average temperatures. Besides proper mowing, I plan to fertilize it with Urea once the heat breaks and some natural rain occurs. September is the best time to fertilize tall fescue lawns.
