Help is urgently needed, as you might assume from the title – I suspect the soil is over salted, the burned grass follows where I piled the snow (and all the salt I put down for the ice last winter). I even had to pull a shrub out because it died…? I was where the weed fabric is sticking out of the mulch.
I also fed it about a month ago, may have go overboard with that too. Given the yellowed spots on the inner lawn.
So what do I do to have this lawn back to green in 2 weeks.

Best I got is to probably buy him some beer.
Well he shouldn’t be eatin for free. Let him do it.
Keep trying for 13 days, if nothing works, green spray paint
I think we can co-operate to work this to our advantage. Signed- Your wife’s boyfriend
I need my wife to have couple of boyfriends.
Artificial turf or green paint jk if it’s salted and dead , cut it out and drop new sod in , take 20-30 mins , just remember to water it a lot, I have hard cement like clay under mine and had an area that just kept dying so I just dropped new sod over the dead grass area to give it something to root into and it worked like a charm
Paint it.
A little bit of fert and some water. It’ll be green by the end of the week
Tell him to have at it
If he can do other chores have him over today.
If her boyfriend can turn that grass green, then go ahead and give him my wife’s number for me. I need his help down in Texas.
Tell her you’re too busy doing stuff with your GF that she won’t do to tend to the lawn….
Walk across the street and ask your neighbour what they do (first pic on the left)
Purchase a tripod and a nice camera
Not a single reply helping OP. Just lazy jokes again
Let him come do it. You’ve got to admit she’s been nicer to get along with lately.
Paint it.
Revive.
Lawn boyfriends are the best boyfriends. If you can afford a good one. Pool boyfriends are great to have, too.
With 2 weeks your options are lawn paint, or re-sod if you could even find some still alive this time of year.
Is he available on the weekends
Lawn dye for two weeks
That sounds like a sweet deal! She’s already got the boyfriend by the sounds of it, let that guy worry about the lawn!
Hi Joe!
This isnt a permanent solution. Go get some annual rye grass. Some places sell an emergency seed package that contains this. It will germinate in 7 days. Rake your bare spots, spread your seed overthe top of raked area. Cover with a thin coat of topsoil. Water everyday when it gets dry. It should fill in quickly.
This grass will not come back next year. To get more from your grass, you will need to aerate and overseed this fall. Overdue it in the newly planted areas. Hopefully dont use salt next year.
If the goal is just fast green… get a bag of perennial ryegrass seed. If you keep it wet for 2 weeks it’ll looks like mature lawn.
Annual rye is even faster but it’ll look extra dead in the spring.
Wait and let the Boy friend help you.
Can she send him round to mine after?!
My lawns fine but the wife could do with a service.
Lawns are overrated
Ask her he’ll paint the house too.
Replace with [Microclover®](https://ptlawnseed.com/products/pt-799-microclover)
Have you tried green spray paint?
tell her ok but she’s paying the water bill because it needs to be heavily watered daily.
Lay down plastic sheeting, wait in the window with a good scope
Aerate, dethatch, and mow as high as possible. After that, weed and feed fertilizer.
Green paint
It’s small enough you can fix it with a can of green spray paint.
Enjoy sleeping on the couch !
Run that little sprinkler for 2 weeks. As in, never turn it off.
Dude isn’t it 600 degrees in TO right now? Wait a month and your grass will be super green and lush
Thr American solution.. spray paint it green.
Water it daily, very early morning or after 7pm, 45mins for till the 2 weeks. I’ll be green. Don’t cut it lower then 3 inches.
I’d have him do some other projects while there, create a list for her.
