Grass needs water. Be it from mother nature, a garden hose, or an elaborate sprinkler system. Make sure your grass gets plenty of it regularily. Healthy roots mean healthy grass so make sure when you water, it goes deep. Watering in the morning is best, but if not possible, wait until late evening, when the sun is almost down.
