What Should I Do With Yellow Lawn Grass That I Have Around Landscaping Bricks in My Front Yard?
Will this grass grow back if I water it every day or should I apply lawn patch to it? In some areas the grass is mixed with yellow and green so that’s why I was askig if I should water it or not. Some grass is yellow right next to my landscaping bricks and it is all around in patches. The yellow grass extends maybe about 10 inches out in 2 areas, 3-4 inches in the rest of the areas.
i forgot to mention that i applied ortho grass and weed killer which might have killed off the grass. in that case will watering help?

Hopefully its not from the rock salt put on the paving bricks in the winter, or from some chemicals or acid that was in the bricks from someone’s cleaning chemicals before you got the bricks or from dogs aiming at the bricks when they eliminate. ( I don’t know your specific brick situation ) .
Its possible too, that its just from the physical effect of the bricks in the hot sun from last summer, bricks heat up more than the lawn does, so there may be an over-heating of the grass close to the bricks, so you ‘d need to plant more heat resistent and drought resistent strains of grass in those affected areas. Also, it may simply be that the bricks are wicking up the moisture from the soil close to them, evaporating it faster than other parts of your lawn, so close to the bricks, you may simply need to water more frequently than the rest of the lawn, and in that case, regular grass may be just fine, if watered more.
PS- OH ! now I see your "I forgot to mention"- addition to your question details. Ease off on the chemicals ! That must be what is killing the grass there. Maybe you need to scrape away some of the soil there, and replace it with new healthy soil before you re-grass it.
Depends on what you want to do with it. You can pull it or weed it out, or water it. The grass is yellow because it needs water.
Yes try watering it and see if any new growths start coming up. If not pull it out and put new grass seed or sod to put in the empty areas.Its not that big of an area. good luck bettyk
