I'm sorry to have to disagree that all the lawns are still looking good. I can't vouch for any other villages, but while traveling along the 8 blocks of our street on the way out to breakfast this AM, I noticed that the majority of lawns were having problems and were a dingy looking brownish color.

Having said that though, I can say that our lawn is probably one of the greenest along the entire street. That's probably for two reasons; one that Massey takes good care of the fertalizing and the other that our lawn service doesn't cut the grass too short or too often. Therefore IMHO, the once a week watering is not necessarily the problem, but rather inadequate fertalization along with grass being cut too short and too often in many cases.
