I need help! i burned my lawn because of too much fertilizer.How do i get my lawn back???

Answer 1

The best thing to do is to remove as much fertilizer as possible. If it's soon after application, you can run over the lawn with a mower that has a bag attached. Mowers create a vacuum effect that can pick up some of the excess fertilizer. If your lawn is small, you can also use a wet/dry shop-type vacuum to pick up the extra fertilizer.

If you can't do either of these things, water thoroughly (at least an inch) for 4 consecutive days. There is no guarantee that this will work, but taking these steps may reduce potential damage.

Lawn damage from too much fertilizer or spilled fertilizer is often caused by excessive salts in the soil. After removing as much fertilizer as possible, flushing the area with water to dilute the salts and move them below the root zone is the only way to minimize damage

Answer 5

Water it.  This will help dilute the chemicals you placed in the grass.  Unless the roots are dead the grass WILL come back, but it may take a few weeks. If it's still dead by the end of August I'd till everything over and start new.  But let the yard recover first.
