Is My Grass Dead or Dormant? (And How To Tell The Difference)

Uncategorized · December 30, 2022

If your grass is brown, you may be wondering what is going on. Before coming up with a solution to why your grass is brown, you have to figure out what is causing it. It can be difficult to tell if your grass is dead or dormant. Grass that is dead will not grow back, but there are some steps you can take to have a beautifully green lawn again. However, dormancy is a natural protection mechanism for grass to withstand weather changes through the winter season.

Here’s a few ways you can tell if your grass is dead or dormant:

  1. The Tug Test

The tug test is an easy way to tell if your grass is dead or dormant. All you need to do is find a section of brown grass, grab some in your hand, and pull. If the grass comes out of the ground easily with no resistance, it is dead. If it’s dead, it will not be growing back so you’ll want to take steps to regrow your lawn.

2. Look For Patterns

Are there patches of brown grass or is your entire lawn brown? If your whole lawn is the same brown color, the grass may be dormant. Yet, if there are areas of brown grass that can point to those particular spots being dead.

3. Call The Experts
