TruGreen will gladly visit your property as often as needed between scheduled visits to make any necessary adjustments and to ensure your satisfaction.*


signs of drought stress

  • Lawn colour may change from bright green to dull gray or blue green.
  • Grass blades folding and failing to “bounce back” after being depressed by foot traffic.

what you can do

  • Water thoroughly as often as local watering restrictions allow, providing at least 2.5-5.0 centimeters each week.
  • Place an empty tuna can in the sprinkler pattern until the can fills up – this equals one inch of water.
  • Watch for warning signs in sunny areas of your lawn – these are usually first to show drought stress.
  • Water in the early morning to minimize evaporation.
  • If you have an irrigation system, make sure that it’s correctly set to ensure proper water coverage.

TruGreen can help

  • Your tailored TruGreen lawn plan cultivates deep-rooted, healthy turf, which has a higher tolerance for dry conditions.
  • A vigorous, dense turfgrass is one of the best defenses against drought damage, as well as weed and pest invasion.
  • TruGreen carefully inspects your lawn to provide the nutrients and help it needs during drought stress.
