I love having a green lawn and keeping it trimmed meticulously. I am literally obsessed with my lawn and care for it. Recently our area has been in a drought and water restrictions have been placed. On the curb (which was always hard for my irrigation system to hit and where dogs LOVE to do their business) is where I tried first since there is where it took a beating. It looked amazing! I decided to then apply a lighter coat (a little more water in the next batch) to cover my front yard since it needed only a little help in some areas. It did cover most of it but saw this color was a little too dark (fairway) for my established lawn. I would probably recommend for a whole front needing the help and starting fresh. My next purchase will be the in between shade (premium light + dark) for my whole front and backyard. I feel you can start lighter and go darker with another application if needed. Be careful with the sprayer you purchase. If it leaks in any way, it will dye whatever it touches. I was able to wash away a few drip marks on my brick walkway when I added warm water to it. I couldn't get to the sidewalk area in time. I do recommend not using a hand pump sprayer if your lawn is large. I purchased an "electric" rechargeable sprayer which slightly leaked (and caused the drip marks). I also will apply the next batch on a cloudy day because I felt the sun messed slightly with me seeing the true color when applying. Overall an amazing product doing what it states. One last remark... I have a dog with white fur. I did keep her off of the lawn for more than the recommend drying time, 2 hrs (I waited 5) and her coat was still white! Get this product!! Worth every cent.
