Killed sections of lawn with fertilizer

tried to help the husband by fertilizing the lawn and nothing good came out of it. We need all the help we can get to bring it back to life. Any suggestions?

Time and water. It will likely come back given enough of both. Nothing you can do at this point.

Where are you located? In many parts of the country it's too early to plant seed.

Way too little information given to offer any meaningful suggestions.

Need some advice on a landscaping issue

A

Alex_Hawks on Jul 21, 2018

I could use some help solving a landscaping issue. My home is a duplex. On one side I have the other duplex house connected, on the other I have a small business next door that is separated by a wooden fence line. I have about 8 feet of grass between the side of my house and the business parking lot/fence line. When we get rain, the rain water runs off from the business parking lot, which is about 6 - 10 inches above my property line. Additionally, the water from gutters deposit water in the same area. Combined with rain water, gutter run off, and the business property run off, the area quickly becomes flooded. Its not uncommon to have 6 inches of standing water, or more after heavy rains. To complicate matters more, I can't lay irrigation pipes to move the water forward or backward because I would have to move the water up a grade. I'm not sure how to tackle the problem. I've lot about getting some dirt and gravel added to the area, but it would be a huge undertaking. I would have to raise my AC unit and it would affect the entrance to my home as well. I've attached pictures to explain the situation better. The pictures are deceiving, they don't really show the incline, its hard to see. I can try to add more photos or from different angles.Read More
